Physical Examination Inspection General inspection is critical to the examination in all age groups. Alertness of the infant, cry characteristics, skin color and turgor, finger clubbing, respiratory breathing patterns, and hydration all may relate to cardiovascular status. Capillary “flush” timing can be helpful for circulatory assessment. Cyanotic newborn infants are often a cardiac emergency when they present with central cyanosis, particularly if they have PDA-dependent le sions. Similarly, associated weak cry or lethargy may suggest significant heart disease. Central cyanosis should be assessed by an oxygen saturation monitor or arterial blood gas determination in both room air and an increased oxygen (preferably 100%, if possible) environment (hyperoxia test). Acrocyanosis (cyanosis of the extremities) is often present during the first few hours aft er birth and is assessed by the Apgar scoring system at 1- and 5-minute intervals and, if persistent, for longer intervals. It is usually due to autonomic instability and is rarely of cardiac significance. Localized peri pheral cyanosis owing to autonomic nervous system effects is termed the harlequin effect. It may be noted for several weeks after birth. These areas of color change corresponding to body segments are caused by infant posi- tio n change and resolve with maturation of the autonomic nervous system. Determine infant size as large, small, or appropriate for gestational age by standard growth charts (see Chapter 5). Pedal edema and abdom- inal ascites may reflect cardiac or noncardiac newborn abnormalities and also must be considered in cardiac evaluation. Dysmorphic infants or those who have a known syndrome should raise suspicion for frequently associated cardiac anomalies (TABLE 9–2). Height, weight changes, and sexual maturation are evident between the ages of 8 and 12 years. Growth is different between girls and boys, with female development and sexual maturation occurring 1 to 2 years earlier. Cardiac examination must consider these Tanner stages (1–5) of maturation or pubertal development when examining patients in this age range. 232 Chapter 9: The Cardiovascular System KEY FINDING TABLE 9–2 Cardiac Syndrome: Pediatric Cardiac Anomaly Correlates Down syndrome: A-V canal > VSD > tetralogy of Fallot > Eisenmenger syndrome Turner syndrome: C/A > AS > aortic dilatation Noonan syndrome: PS > pulmonary dysplasia > A-V canal, HCM Marfan syndrome: aortic dilatation > MVP > aortic aneurysm Ehl ers-Danlos syndrome: aortic dilatation, aneurysm LEOPARD syndrome: pulmonic stenosis, VSD Rubella syndrome: PDA, peripheral pulmonic stenosis DiGeorge syndrome: Tetralogy of Fallot > truncus arteriosus > aortic arch anomalies Abbreviations: A-V = atrioventricular; VSD = ventriculolseptal defect; PS = pulmonary stenosis; HCM = hypertrophic cardiomyopathy; MVP = mitral value prolapse; PDA = patent ductus arteriosus. Palpation Palpation of the precordium is useful to detect location and intensity of the heartbeat. If turbulence of flow is significant (murmur > 3/6, see “auscultation” section below) the examiner will feel a vi bration or “thrill” over that area. In addition, extracardiac palpation of the liver and extremities for swelling also identifies fluid accumulation in heart disease. Peripheral pulse palpation a nd upper and lower extremity blood pressure measurements are very important, especially during the first 24 to 48 hours after birth. Increased or diminished pulse amplitude and blood pressure measurements may suggest a cardiovascula r abnormality. Cardiac heart rate monitoring will show a wide range of normal newborn heart rates during the first 2 to 3 days after birth. Infant heart rates normally can increase to 200 beats/min during this ti me but also can decrease to 50 to 60 beats/min, especially with an increased vagal effect during the first 1 to 3 days following birth. See TABLE 9–3 for the normal ranges of heart rates in infants, children, and adolescents. Percussion Card iac percussion is important to delineate heart borders and size. Because of the differential density between heart tis- sue and lung, a dull sound will become more resonant as the border is crossed f rom heart to lung. In addition to cardiac percussion, percussion of both the lung and the liver is important to assess for dullness in the event of fluid accumulation. Auscultation General Considerations Cardiac murmurs are audible sounds in the range between 20 and 2000 Hz that are produced by the heart and blood vessels. Murmurs are by far the most common cause for cardiac consultation in the pediatric age group. Although the large majority of murmurs are innocent or functional, they still must be separated from those that are caused by cardiac anomalies (pathologic murmurs). About 50 percent of school-age children will have innocent murmurs sometime during childhood .

Auscultation remains an important cardiac physical diagnostic skill for murmur identification. Unfortunately, these skills have eroded, are not taught as well, or have been ignored with increas ed reliance on newer cardiac imaging such echocardiography, computed tomography (CT) scan, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This deterioration of clinical heart auscultation skills has occurred not only at the medical student level but also at the resident, fellow, and staff levels. It is important to perform the pediatric cardiac examination in a quiet area with auscultation of the heart sounds at each respective cardiac valve s ite (FIGURE 9–2). One should routinely examine patients with the stethoscope bell and diaphragm in both the supine and upright posi- tions in newborns, infants, and children. Examine preadolescents and adolescents in the standing a nd/or left lateral decubitus position to allow an optimal evaluation of the mitral valve. The bell will detect best low- frequency sounds, and the diaphragm will detect best the higher fre- quencies; medium-frequenc y sounds are heard equally well with both. The use of selected maneuvers such as position change, held expiration and inspiration, Valsalva maneuver, and exercise often can provide addi- tional findings to differen tiate between innocent and pathologic murmurs. Most expert examiners will use a pattern sequence that starts with the first and second heart sounds (S 1 and S 2 ) at each of the four valve sites. Document other heart sounds and the timing, location, quality, and pitch of a murmur. 234 Chapter 9: The Cardiovascular System Pulmonic area Nipple Bicuspid (mitral) area Aortic area Tricuspid area FIGURE 9–2 Cardiac Valve Areas for Precordial Auscultation. (From Van de Graaff KH: Human Anatomy. New York: McGraw-Hill, 2002, Fig. 16.13, p. 554.) Note changes in sounds and murmurs and splitting of a heart sound, particularly S 2 . The first heart sound results from the mitral valve–tricuspid valve closure that occurs early in ventricular contraction. This is best heardwith slower heart rates and at the respective mitral an d tricuspid valve sites. Mitral and tricuspid valve closure is usually a single S 1 in younger patients. Anything that delays rig ht tricuspid valve closure likely will cause an S 1 split. After the onset of ventricular contraction, the semilunar valves (aortic and pulmonic) open silently to allow ventricular ejection while the atrioventricular (A-V) valves remain closed (FIGUR E 9–3). After ventricular ejection, the semilunar valves close rapidly, producing the second heart sound (S 2 ). The second heart sound is heard best at the base at the aortic and pulmonic valve sites. Aortic valve closure occurs earlier, and its sound typically is louder than that of pulmonic valve closure. Physical Examination 235 FIGURE 9–3 The Cardiac Cycle. (After CJ Wiggers: Nelson Textbook of Pediatrics, 17th ed. 2004, Fig. 413–3, p. 1488.) The normal splitting of the second heart sound is largely influenced by the inspiratory filling effects on the right side of the heart. During expiration, both the aortic and pulmonic valve close nearly at the same time, resulting in a single or narrowly split S 2 . It is important to char- acterize S 2 accurately as to normal splitting and movement with respi- ration or if there is “fixed” splitting, which is due to persistently increased return to the right side of the heart during diastole. Other sounds, such as an S 3 sound, may be normal unless it is a continuous S 3 gallop in patients with heart failure. On rare occasions, an S 4 sound may be heard and is always abnormal. Properly obtained blood pressures and pulses in the upper and lower extremities are important, particularly in younger infants and children suspected of having hyperten sion. The blood pressure cuff should be appropriately sized for age and encircle at least two-thirds of the dis- tance between the elbow and the shoulder (FIGURE 9–4). Machine (Dinamap) pressures are 10 mm Hg higher in systole and 5 mm Hg high er in diastole than auscultation pressures. Palpation of the pulse amplitude in the radial and femoral pulse areas and determination of pulse delay or pulse differences between upper and lower extremities are i mportant to detect cardiac anomalies. Pathologic Heart Sounds Systolic murmurs are usually described as holosystolic, systolic ejection, early systolic, midsystolic, or late systolic (FIGURE 9–5). Holosystolic murmurs may result from A-V regurgitation but are more common with ventricu loseptal defects (VSDs) in pediatrics. Sy stolic ejection murmurs are crescendo-decrescendo (rising and falling) and occur more often from either ventricular outflow tract abnormalities or stenosis of semilunar valves . Diastolic murmurs are less common than systolic murmurs but, when present, are due to semilunar valve regurgitation, stenosis of an A-V valve, or a “functional” stenosis from increased flow across an A-V valve (FIGURE 9–6). 236 Chapter 9: The Cardiovascular System FIGURE 9–4 Sphygmomanometer Sizes: Large Adult, Adult, and Child Sizes on Left and Infant and Newborn Sizes on Right.

Early Mid- Late R P Q S T Diastole S1 S2 Diastolic murmurs are noted in early or protodiastole, middiastole, or late diastole (presystolic). Protodiastolic murmurs are usually from A-V valve insufficiency; middiastolic murmurs are flow-related or st enotic A-V valve s with a blowing ejection type of sound, and presystolic mur murs are caused by stenotic or A-V valve obstructions. Con- tinuous mur murs usually are extracardiac in locations distal to the se milunar valves; e xcept for venous hums, most continuous murmurs are pathologic. Systolic ejection clicks typically are associated with semilunar (aortic/ pulmonic) valve stenosis or vessels that are dilated distal to the valve. Midsystolic cli cks are associated with A-V (mitral or tricuspid) valve prolapse. Any murmur will need accurate description and documenta- tion regarding timing, grade, intensity, location, duration, pitch, and qualit y. It is important to locate a murmur in the cardiac cycle. This will be either in systole, diastole, or continuous with reference to the first and second heart sounds. Most examiners should use the Levine grad- ing scale for murmur intensity from grades 1 to 6 in systole and diastole; some will grade diastolic murmurs from 1 to 4 because grade 5/6 and 6/6 diastolic murmurs are very rare. Innocent Murmurs Innocent murmurs are usually systolic ejection, are vir tually never holosystolic, and usually change intensity with position. Such murmurs usually are grade 1/6 or 2/6 but rarely over grade 3/6; thus palpable thrills are virtually none xistent. After the newborn age, the vast majority of murmurs are innocent, the most common of which is the Still’s murmur, an early and midsystolic vibratory, buzzing, twanging-string, or a harmonic- musical murmur. It is heard b est with the stethoscope bell at the left lower upper sternal border and apex areas of the chest in the supine position. Its intensity changes with position, and it originates from left ventricle (LV) outflow or LV papillary muscle sites. The murmur is not holosystolic but occurs in early and midsystole and is usually of low intensity and does not transmit well or radiate to other parts of the precordium. Exercise, anxiety, ane mia, fever, and held expiration will increase the intensity. It can be heard in the newborn but more often occurs between 6 months and 8 years of age and less frequently in the adolescent. The pulmonary outflow s ystolic ejection murmur is the second most common innocent murmur, becoming increasingly prevalent in preadolescents and adolescents. It is heard best with the stethoscope diaphragm in both children and adolescents at the second and third left intercostal space in the supine position. An increase in right ventricular heart flow or turbulence usually causes the murmur. Exercise, anxiety, anemia, fever, and the maneuver of volun tarily held inspiration will increase the murmur’s intensity. In neonates and premature infants, the murmur of peripheral pulmonary stenosis is quite common but typically will resolve by 3 to 6 months of age. This is a low-intensity systolic ejection murmur over the chest, axilla, and back caused by relative hypoplasia and branching of the newborn pulmonary artery system. With pulmonary vascular system maturatio n and the resulting decrease in pulmonary resistance, physiologic pulmonary 238 Chapter 9: The Cardiovascular System vessel enlargement, and normalizing pulmonary artery pressures, most such murmurs will abate with time. Venous hums are common in infants and children. They are innocent murmurs that occur in early systole and early d iastole and sound like a “to-and-fro hum” continuously throughout the cardiac cycle. Such murmurs are best heard in the sitting position and on the right side either at the base or the third right interspace. Th is murmur is most com- monly noted in the 3- to 8-year age group. The murmur originates from the jugular venous and innominate–superior vena caval system. Most venous hums will either decrease or disappear when th e patient is placed in the supine position or if the neck is turned. An arterial bruit or murmur noted in the carotid vessels at or above the clavicle is the supraclavicular innocent murmur. It is not ed more often in adolescents and heard best in the sitting patient with the bell of the stethoscope on the right side, has low intensity, and is heard best in early systole. Origin of the murmur is from increased act ive blood flow in the brachiocephalic vessels. A complete and systematic cardiac and peripheral vascular system examination will help to differentiate innocent from abnormal or pathologic murmurs. Obviously, murmurs assoc iated with congestive heart failure, cyanosis, and dysrhythmias are not innocent. TABLE 9–4 summarizes key findings.
