Background

  • 72% of all school-age children have innocent murmurs
  • Congenital heart disease 0.8% of live births
  • Check height and weight- L-to-R can cause decr., but are usually symptomatic.
  • Color- so, so but cynanosis of hands,feet,perioral on exertion.
  • Feeding- fatigue or short feeding times for infants- perspiring, grunting, coughing, tachycardia while feeding. Severe CHF may show at rest deep breathing with dyspnea w/ distress.
  • Enlarged heart (ie ASD) can cause bulging of chest
  • Older kids- activity causing dyspnea/cyanosis- keeping up with peers, grunting, coughing, tired from stairs. Syncopal/presyncopal, incr fatigue, palpitations/angina can occur with IHSS
  • Yet older- Aortic valve with rheumatic fever,myocarditis (h/o URI), endocarditis (IV drug use)
  • Preg Hx- Diabetes M (ASD, coarctation of aorta, cardiomyopathies), CMV, Coxsackie B5, warfarin, antiseizure, EtOH (ASD,VSD), prematurity (PDA)
  • Worry when- fam hx of IHSS/sudden death & prominent apical thrust indicates LVH
