CARDIOLOGIC DIAGNOSIS I.U. Cerrahpaşa Medical Faculty Department of Pediatrics Division of Pediatric Cardiology Prof. Dr. Ayşe Güler EROĞLU SUBJECTS History Physical examination Inspection Palpation Oscultation Innocent murmurs Electrocardiogram Telecardiogram HISTORY Sweating Exercise intolerance Common respiratory tract infections Growth retardation Feeding difficulties Palpitation Dyspne Cyanosis Chest pain Syncope HISTORY Medical history (ilnesses, medications) Prenatal history (ilnesses, medications) Natal history (asphyxia, prematurity, birth weight) Family history (CHD, sudden death, ARF) Mother’s health (DM,SLE) PHYSICAL EXAMINATION INSPECTION General appearance Chromosomal, hereditary, nonhereditary syndroms Pallor Cyanosis Clubbing Neck vein distension Left precordial bulge PALPATION Pulses Volume Rate Rhythm Character Chest Apical impulse In newborn and infants 4. intercostal space/midclavicular line In older children and adults 5. intercostal space/midclavicular line Precordial activity Thrills VOLUME OF PULSES Increase in pulse volume: pyrexia, fever, anemia, exercise and thyrotoxicosis Weak pulses: low cardiac output (left heart obstructive lesions: aortic valve atresia or stenosis Bounding pulses: patent ductus arteriosus, aortic regurgitation, large systemic arteriovenous fistula Differences in pulse volume between extremities: coarctation of the aorta BLOOD PRESSURE MEASUREMENT The width of the cuff’s bladder should be 125%155% of the diameter of the extremity. The air bladder should be long enough to completely or almost encircle the limb. The point of first appearance of Korotkoff sounds (phase I) shows the systolic blood pressure. The point of muffling is closer to the true diastolic pressure than the point of disappearance in children. Even when a wider cuff is selected for the thigh, the systolic pressure in the thigh is 10-20 mmHg higher than that obtained in the arm. OSCULTATION Heart rate and rhythm Heart sounds Other sounds Murmurs HEART SOUNDS First heart sound (S1): The S1 is associated with closure of the atrioventricular valves (mitral and tricuspid) It corresponds to the beginning of systole. Abnormally wide splitting: right bundle branch block, Ebstein’s anomaly Increased S1: pyrexia, anemia, excitement, thyrotoxicosis, short PR interval, mitral stenosis Decreased S1: long PR interval and mitral regurgitation Second heart sound (S2): The S2 is associated with closure of semilunar valves (aortic and pulmonary). It corresponds to the beginning of diastole. In every normal child, the s2 is split during inspiration and single during expiration (normal splitting of the S2). HEART SOUNDS Widely split S2 Right ventricle volume overload: ASD, partial anomalous pulmonary venous return) Right ventricle pressure overload: pulmonary stenosis Delay in electrical activation of right ventricle: right bundle branch block Early aortic valve closure: mitral regurgitation Narrowly split S2 Pulmonary hypertension Aortic stenosis Paradoxically split S2 Severe aortic stenosis Left bundle branch block HEART SOUNDS Single S2 Only one semilunar valve is present: aortic or pulmonary atresia, persistent truncus arteriosus P2 is not audible: transposition of the great arteries, tetralogy of Fallot, severe pulmonary stenosis Aortic closure is delayed: severe aortic stenosis P2 occurs early: pulmonary hypertension P2 increases in pulmonary hypertension and decreases in severe pulmonary stenosis, tetralogy of Fallot and tricuspid stenosis HEART SOUNDS Third heart sound (S3): The S3 is a low-frequency sound in early diastole and is related to rapid filling of the ventricle. It is commonly heard in normal children and young adults. A loud S3 is abnormal and is audible in large shunt VSD, congestive heart failure. Fourth heart sound (S4): The S4 is a lowfrequency of late diastole and is rare in infants and children. It is always pathologic. It is seen in conditions with decreased ventricular compliance. OTHER SOUNDS Ejection clic: It follows the S1 very closely, therefore it sounds like a splitting of the S1 Valvular aortic and pulmonary stenosis, dilated great arteries Midsystolic click with or without late systolic murmur Mitral or tricuspid valve prolapse Opening snup: It occurs earlier than the S3 during diastole Mitral or tricuspid stenosis Pericardial friction rub (frotman) Pericarditis Pericardial knock Constrictive pericarditis CHARACTERISTICS OF HEART MURMURS Timing Radiation Location Murmur Intensity Quality TIMING OF HEART MURMURS Murmurs Systolic Ejection (Diamond Crescendodecrescendo) Regurgitant (Holosistolic Pansistolic) Continuous Early Late Diastolic Early Middiastolic Late Sistolic ejektion murmurs (Diamond shaped, crescendo-decrescendo) Aortic stenosis Pulmonary stenosis Increased flow in aorta Increased flow in pulmonary artery Sistolic regurgitant murmurs (Holosistolic, pansistolic) Ventricular septal defect Mitral regurgitation Tricuspid regurgitation Early diastolic murmurs (Decrescendo) Aortic regurgitation Pulmonary regurgitation Middiastolic murmurs (Flow murmurs) Increased flow across the atrioventricular valves in patients with ASD, VSD, PDA Late diastolic murmurs (Presistolik) Mitral valve stenosis Tricuspid valve stenosis Continuous murmurs Arterial PDA Coronary artery fistula Pulmonary AV fistula Sistemic AV fistula Venous Venous ham Venous hum A common innocent murmur is heard in healthy chidren at 2-8 years old It is audible in the upright position The infraclavicular region, unilaterally or bilaterally The murmurs intensity changes with the position of the neck and compression of cervical veins LOCATION OF HEART MURMURS Pulmonary Aorta Tricuspid Mitral Aortic area: right parasternal 2. intercostal space Pulmonary area: left parasternal 2. intercostal space Tricuspid area: left parasternal 4.-5. intercostal space Mitral area (cardiac apex): 5.-6.intercostal space/ midclavicular line Mezocardiyak area (second aortic area, Erb): left parasternal 3.-4. intercostal space INTENSITY OF HEART MURMURS Graded from 1 to 6. Grade 1: Barely audible. Grade 2: Soft, but easily audible. Grade 3: Moderately loud, but no accompanied with a thrill. Grade 4: Louder and associated with a thrill. Grade 5: Audible with the stethescope barely on the chest. Grade 6: Audible with the stethoscope off the chest. INNOCENT MURMURS Innocent murmurs are heard in up to 70-85 % of normal children at some time or another. They are musical, low- frequency, systolic ejection and a lower grade than 3/6 in intensity. The intensity of the murmur increases during febrile ilness or excitement, after exercise or in anemic states. 1. Still murmur: It is heard best with the patient supine and at the midpoint between the left sternal border and the apex. This murmur may be confused with the murmur of VSD or mild mitral regurgitation. 2. Pulmonary flow murmur of children: It is common in children and adolescents. It is heard maximally at upper left sternal border. This murmur may be confused with the murmur of pulmonary valvular stenosis or ASD. 3. Pulmonary flow murmur of newborn: This murmur is commonly present in newborns, especially in premature infants. It is heard best at the upper left sternal border and transmits to the right and left chest, both axilla and the back. Theories of its origin include the relative small size of the branch pulmonary arteries after birth. It usually disappears by six months of age. TELECARDIOGRAM IS THE ROENTGENOGRAPHY APPROPRIATE IS TELECARDIOGRAM OR NOT 1)The distance between the patient and the tube should be 180 cm. 2)Postero-anterior 3)Standing. HOW IS QUALITY 1)X-ray dosing Inspiration Symmetry Thymus INTERPRETING THE CHEST ROENTGENOGRAM 1)Heart size 2)Heart silhouette 3)Pulmonary vascularity 4)Location of the liver and stomach 5)Skin and subcutaneous tissue 6)Bones 7)Diaphragm and pleura INDIVIDUAL CHAMBER ENLARGEMENT Left atrial enlargement Double-density on the right lower heart border Smooth left heart border Elevated left main-stem broncus Left ventricular enlargement The apex of the heart is to the left and downward Right atrial enlargement An increased prominence of the right lower cardiac silhouette may be seen. Right ventricular enlargement A lateral and upward displacement of the roentgenographic apex may be seen. INCREASED PULMONARY VASCULARITY Enlarged right and left pulmonary arteries Vascular images extend into the lateral third of the lung field. Increased vascularity to the lung apices. INCREASED PULMONARY VASCULARITY Acyanotic child Atrial septal defect Ventricular septal defect Patent ductus arteriosus Atrioventricular septal defect Partial anomalous pulmonary venous return Cyanotic child Transposition of the great arteries Total anomalous pulmonary venous return Hypoplastic left heart syndrome Truncus arteriosus Single ventricle NORMAL PULMONARY VASCULARITY Obstructive lesions such as pulmonary or aortic stenosis Small left-to right shunt lesions DECREASED PULMONARY VASCULARITY Hilum appears small, the remaining lung fields appear black, and the vessels appear small and thin. Tetralogy of Fallot Pulmonary atresia Severe pulmonary stenosis Cyanotic heart diseases pulmonary stenosis with PULMONARY VENOUS CONGESTION The pulmonary veins are straight in their course and directed toward the central portion of the heart, the left atrium. Pulmonary venous congestion is characterized by a hazy and indistinct margin of the pulmonary vasculature. Kerley`s B lines Kerley`s A lines LOCATION OF THE LIVER AND THE STOMACH Location of the liver and the stomach and the relation of these organs with the cardiac apex should be determined. In abdominal situs solitus (normal) the liver shadow is on the right and the stomach gas bubble is on the left. In abdominal situs inversus (mirror image) the liver shadow is on the left and the stomach gas bubble is on the right. A midline liver is usually associated with complex congenital heart defects (heterotaxia syndromes).

The P axis should be normal (0 to +90) in sinus rhythm. P wave must be positive in both D1 and avF or positive in one and on the isoelectrical line on the other P waves should precede each QRS complex in sinus rhythm. Frontal reference system HEART RATE The heart rate can be calculated by dividing 1500 in the number of small boxes between RR interval (during the ECG paper moves 25mm/sec). Heart rate=1500/RR small boxes Frontal reference system QRS AXİS Axis is calculated on frontal reference system (DI, DII, DIII, aVR, aVL, aVF) DI and aVF (angle between them 90) are used QRS AXIS Normal ranges of QRS axis vary with age. Right axis deviation occurs when the axis is between the upper limit for age and 180 Left axis deviation occurs when the axis is between lower limit for age and -90 Northwest axis is between -90 and 180 PR INTERVAL Normal PR interval varies with age and heart rate.
