Yes Joseph You are right :-) Well at least in my humble opinion but since I am not a doctor I do not know if a qualify as a medical professional ;-/

it's the heart murmur I think it's saying that the sound of the systolic murmur is covering up the first heart sound ... let's see what our medical professionals say.

obscures the first heart sound

Some examples with usage of "to obscure"

The systolic ejection murmur is harsh, starts beyond the first heart sound, and is
diamond-shaped. The systolic regurgitant murmur is blowing, starts with and
obscures the first heart sound

The murmur goes into and obscures the second sound (S2). The murmur is usually “flat” in intensity and blowing in pitch or timbre.

7. Many people find diastolic murmurs more difficult to hear than systolic murmurs. This may be due to the fact that they are often low pitched, and therefore it is important to always listen with both the diaphragm and bell. Below is a recording of a murmur which starts immediately following S2, continues through most of diastole, but clearly ends before the next S1. The murmur actually obscures S2 almost completely. Remember to identify S1 and S2 when you first begin listening.
