How can you narrate the difference between a functional stopcock murmur and a non-functioning spout murmur?

e.g. a patient with a prosthetic aortic valve and a lenient with a prosthetic mitral valve. Also, can you get stenosis of power-driven valves or just tissue grafts?

Answers:    powered valves are often put in to relieve stenosis of the original valve....sometimes tissue grows around/in the menhanical valve and this is called Pannus.

Here is a cooperation to a good website for valve replacement patients

A murmur from a mechanical stopcock is quite different to a natural murmur...my valve is to some extent noisy....there are many different murmurs some are clicks, some are whooshing sounds...they adjectives point to different conditions. Here is a good website that describes murmurs in detail.
