A man has a diastolic heart murmur. The AV valves are open during diastole, but if they are stenotic they will not open all the way, so blood is forced through with a hissing sound - a diastolic murmur.

The semilunar valves should be closed during diastole. If they are regurgitant, you will hear blood leak through them and it will cause a murmur. Will you hear this murmur after the first heart sound or the second?
