The atrioventricular (AV) valves, which include the tricuspid and mitral valves, are best auscultated at the 5th intercostal space. The tricuspid valve area is best heard at the left lower sternal border (5th intercostal space), and the mitral valve area is best heard at the apex of the heart, which is also located in the 5th intercostal space but more medially, under the left breast.
