Cardiac auscultation reveals a fixed, widely split S2 with a systolic flow murmur at the left upper sternal border. Chest X-ray shows cardiomegaly with increased pulmonary vascular markings. Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis?

  1. A)Atrial septal defectGABARITO
  2. B)Aortic regurgitation
  3. C)Mitral regurgitation
  4. D)Pulmonary regurgitation
  5. E)Ventricular septal defect
