چکیده

Diastolic murmurs have always been considered abnormal, but this report presents nine apparently normal children with high-frequency, early, diamond-shaped diastolic murmurs confirmed by intracavitary phonocardiography to arise within the left ventricle. Each child (aged 5 to 15 years) was referred for evaluation of a systolic murmur at the lower left sternal border, but an additional finding at the initial examination was a grade I to III/VI high-pitched diastolic murmur, thought to be decrescendo, at the third and fourth intercostal space at the left sternal edge. The murmurs were best heard when the patient was supine. Cardiac x-rays, including four views with barium, were all clearly normal, as were eight of the nine electrocardiograms and the Frank and McFee vectorcardiograms. Multiple parameters of right and left heart catheterizations were normal in all.

Innocent murmurs and third heart sounds in Black schoolchildren.

Normal auscultatory findings were studied during a heart survey in which 12 050 Black schoolchildren, aged 2 to 18 years, were examined by cardiologists. Physiological third heart sounds were detected in 96 per cent of children, innocent systolic murmurs in 72 per cent, and innocent mid-diastolic murmurs in 0.27 per cent. The term 'innocent systolic murmur" was used for vibratory systolic murmu...

Functional diastolic murmur in 2:1 A-V block.

ONTRARY to the opinion of older clinicians diastolic murmurs are not always organic. This is demonstrated especially by the experiences we made with amplifier auscultation.2) Such non-organic murmurs may be produced by annular incompetence of a valve or by increased blood flow across a normal valve. The murmurs generated by such mechanisms in this report will be designated as " functional " to ...

Heart Murmurs in Pediatric Patients: When Do You Refer? - August 1999 - American Academy of Family Physicians

Many normal children have heart murmurs, but most children do not have heart disease. An appropriate history and a properly conducted physical examination can identify children at increased risk for significant heart disease. Pathologic causes of systolic murmurs include atrial and ventricular septal defects, pulmonary or aortic outflow tract abnormalities, and patent ductus arteriosus. An atri...
