2013, Global HeartCitation Excerpt :Supporting the echocardiographic follow-up studies, clinical studies prior to the echocardiographic era also showed similar results. In a 4- year follow-up study of patients with abnormalities detected on auscultation, patients with short systolic murmurs and nonejection clicks (most likely corresponding to borderline disease using today's definitions) were most likely to regress or persist with very few progressing to overt RHD [38]. In comparison, patients with bona fide murmurs were found to have persistent clinical findings with a small percentage requiring tertiary follow-up or intervention [39].
