Le souffle de RA [rétrécissement valvulaire aortique] est maximum au foyer aortique, irradie dans les vaisseaux du cou mais aussi à la pointe où il simule une insuffisance mitrale. Cependant, le fait qu'il augmente d’intensité lors de la contraction qui suit une diastole longue prouve que cette irradiation apicale est un souffle d’éjection.
