Only a lab question... That is brief. 1) Aortic Stenosis 2) Mitral Regurgitation 3) Atrial sepal Defect 4) aortic Coarcation

Brief Answer:
Please, find the explanation below

Detailed Answer:
Dear Sir,

the flow in aortic stenosis is holosystolic, which means it lasts during the whole systole.
Mitral regurgitataion flow duration depends from severity, but it also can be holosystolic
In ASD the flow usually occurs in dyastole
In the case of aortic coarctation flow starts in systole, but in aorta flow is continous

and highest velosity usually are seen is aortic stenosis and coarctation, then mitral regurgitation, but it also depends on severity. Flow velocity usually is low in ASD

Hope it helps
