CRESPO MARCOS, D.  and  PEREZ-LESCURE PICARZO, J.. Clinical cases in cardiology (n.^o 5): a child with anomalous cardiac auscultation. Rev Pediatr Aten Primaria [online]. 2010, vol.12, n.45, pp.89-94. ISSN 1139-7632.

We continue the series of clinical cases in Pediatric Cardiology checking reasons for consultation in the pediatric offices of Primary Care as well as exploratory signs, and presenting them in a brief and practical way. In this paper we present the case of a 12 years old boy to whom an anomalous cardiac auscultation is noticed in the context of an acute gastroenteritis. The way the physical exploration and the electrocardiographic findings guide the diagnosis of this patient is discussed.

Keywords : Cardiac auscultation; Situs solitus; Situs inversus totalis; Congenital heart disease.
