• Pediatric Murmurs

<aside> ⬇️ Most murmurs decrease in intensity during the Valsalva maneuver.

• Two exceptions (i.e. increase during the Valsalva maneuver) are:
  1. the systolic murmur of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
  2. the systolic murmur of mitral valve prolapse

</aside>

Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is used to confirm valvular heart disease! — transesophageal echo (TEE) is most accurate

Systolic Murmurs

• Aortic Stenosis (AS)

• Mitral Regurgitation (MR)

• Tricuspid Regurgitation (TR)

• Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM)

• Mitral Valve Prolapse (MVP)

• Pulmonic Flow Murmur

Diastolic Murmurs

• Aortic Regurgitation (AR)
• Mitral Stenosis (MS)
