137The diacrotic notch on aortic pressure curve is caused by:

- Cclosure of atrial valve
- Dclosure of pulmonary valve
- Eopening the atrial valve
138The PR interval of ECG corresponds to:

- Ca diastolic murmur loudest over the apex of heart
- Da diastolic murmur loudest over the base of heart
- Esystolic murmur over the apex of heart
143The ‘S' wave in ECG is below isoelectric line because of:
