Discussion
• Cardiac evaluation
• Auscultation
• Distinguishing pathologic from innocent
murmurs
• Common innocent pediatric murmurs
• Further work-up of a concerning murmur
Initial cardiac evaluation
• History: poor feeding, diaphoresis, FTT,
family hx
• Vital signs: height, weight, HR, RR
• Inspection: dysmorphism, cyanosis,
clubbing
• Palpation: presence and quality of distal
pulses; precordium for PMI and thrills; liver
• Auscultation
(further cardiac evaluation to follow…)
Auscultation
• Rate & regularity
• Heart sounds
– Focus particularly on intensity and quality of S2 and
for presence of extra heart sounds (S3, S4)
• Murmurs…
• Clicks
– Abnormal valvular sounds (e.g. ejection clicks in early
systole, MVP in mid/late systole)
• Rub
– Associated with pericarditis; scratchy sound best
heard at apex (may diminish if pericardial effusion
becomes large)
Auscultation
Heart sounds
• S1: closing of the AV valves
– mitral then tricuspid
• S2: closing of the semilunar valves
– aortic then pulmonary
• S3: ventricular overload
– “TEN-NE-see”: S1, S2, s3
– <40yrs, pregnancy, MR/TR, CHF
• S4: decreased LV compliance
– “ken-TUCK-Y”: s4, S1, S2
– more likely than S3 to be pathologic (HTN, CAD,
cardiomyopathy), although can be normal (athletes)
Murmurs
• Secondary to turbulent blood flow
• Assess:
– Intensity / loudness
– Timing (systolic, diastolic, continuous)
– Location of maximal intensity
– Transmission / radiation
– Quality (high-pitched, blowing, vibratory,
harsh, soft)
Murmurs: grading of intensity
• I barely audible
• II soft, but easily audible
• III moderately loud without thrill; roughly
as loud as S1/S2
• IV loud with a thrill
• V audible with stethoscope barely on
chest
• VI audible with stethoscope off chest
Murmurs: timing
Maneuvers to dynamically
evaluate murmurs
• Inspiration typically increases murmurs originating from
the right heart
– Negative pressure temporarily increases venous return
• Expiration typically increases murmurs originating from
the left heart
– Less LV restriction due to lower RV volumes
• Increasing overall venous return (supine, squatting, legraise) can accentuate flow-type murmurs
– Can also delay MVP click due to “tighter” chordae tendinae
• Standing increases the murmur of hypertrophic
cardiomyopathy (HOCM/IHSS)
– Decreased venous return  smaller LV volume  closer
apposition of LV walls
Distinguishing pathologic
from innocent murmurs
Innocent murmurs
• The prevalence of innocent murmurs in
infants is as high as 60%
– Versus: the incidence of congenital heart
defect is 6 in 1000 (0.6%)
• Innocent murmurs are usually…
– early systolic
– Grade I or II
– poorly transmitted
– Not associated with other findings
Pathologic murmurs (1)
• Murmurs that are…
– Loud (Grade III+)
– Diastolic
– Abnormal heart sounds (e.g. S3/S4 gallop)
– Long in duration
– Systolic and associated with clicks
– Louder upon standing
Pathologic murmurs (2)
• Murmurs that are associated with…
– Abnormal or absent pulses
– Unequal blood pressures
– Cyanosis
– Symptoms (e.g. syncope, chest pain)
– Abnormal EKG / CXR
– Syndromes, dysmorphism, other birth defects
(e.g. CHARGE syndrome, DiGeorge, trisomy
21)
Common innocent murmurs
Still’s murmur
• Most common innocent murmur, usually
found between the ages of 3 and 6
• Thought to be due to turbulence in LV
outflow or to vibration of fibrous tissue
bands crossing LV lumen
• Typically grade II-III, midsystolic, LLSB,
and classically described as “vibratory”
• Decreases with standing
• Increases with fever, exercise, anemia
Pulmonary flow murmur
• Accounts for 15% of all innocent murmurs
• Heard in infants and school-aged children
• Due to turbulent flow at the origin of the
right and left pulmonary arteries
• Grade I-III, midsystolic ejection, heard at
the ULSB, higher pitched than a Still’s
murmur
• Like Still’s, increases with fever, exercise,
and anemia
Peripheral pulmonary stenosis
(PPS) of the newborn
• Due to the physiologic relative stenosis of
the right and left pulmonary arteries
• Usually disappears by 1 year of age
• Grade I-II, midsystolic ejection, heard at
the ULSB with radiation to the axillae and
back
Venous hum
• Seen in preschool-aged children
• Due to turbulence in the jugular venous
system
• Continuous supraclavicular murmur heard
throughout the cardiac cycle (usually right
side > left side)
• Disappears when the patient is supine,
when the head is rotated, or with manual
compression of the neck veins
Supraclavicular arterial bruit
• Due to turbulence in the major brachiocephalic
arteries as these vessels arise from the aorta
• High-pitched, systolic ejection murmur heard
best in the right supraclavicular fossa
• Decreases with raising of the chin, throwing
back the shoulders, or firm pressure on the
subclavian artery
• Increases with slight pressure on the subclavian
artery
Further cardiac evaluation
(as available)
• Four-extremity blood pressures
• Pre- and post-ductal pulse oximetry
– O2 saturation <93% in the lower extremities is
abnormal
– Clinical cyanosis is not seen until saturation <88%
• EKG
• CXR
• Cardiology referral and echocardiogram
(definitive test)
