The correct answer is  In chronic, compensated mitral regurgitation, there is a holosystolic murmur, which starts with SI and extends to or past the aortic component of S2. The SI is diminished, and there is increased splitting of S2. The murmur also radiates from the apex to the axilla. This condition is often tolerated for years before symptoms develop.
