Abstract
In severe mitral incompetence, a left parasternal lift is palpable. It has a high amplitude and a late peak at the time of aortic valve closure and a collapsing descent to the third heart sound. It is produced by rapid atrial expansion causing forward displacement of the heart. It disappears immediately after mitral valve replacement.
