Pulmonary ejection murmur
From WikiLectures
- systolic functional heart murmur, physiological, innocent
- it is caused by the rapid expulsion of blood in the lung
- characteristic: pronounced (up to 3/6), blowing character, softer than a vibrating rustle[1]
- listening maximum: left upper edge of sternum
- is similar to the auscultatory finding in a secundum-type atrial septal defect – murmurs can be differentiated by the split of the second sound above the lung: in an innocent murmur, the split is only in inspiration, in the case of an atrial septal defect, the split is constant
- incidence: asthenic children with a weak chest wall[1]
