Abstract
CRESPO MARCOS, D. and PEREZ-LESCURE PICARZO, J.. Clinical cases in Cardiology (nº 3): a 7 year old boy with a systolic murmur. Rev Pediatr Aten Primaria [online]. 2009, vol.11, n.42, pp.277-281. ISSN 1139-7632.
We continue the series of clinical cases in Pediatric Cardiology checking frequent 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 7 years old boy to whom a systolic murmur is noticed in the context of a viral respiratory infection. The way the physical exploration and the electrocardiographic findings guide the diagnosis of this patient is discussed.
