Physical Examination

Appearance

Poor physical development

Heart

Inspection:

  • Hyperinflated thorax
  • Bulging precordium

Palpation:

  • Systolic thrill
  • Palpable impulse in the second and third intercostal space representing a dilated pulmonary artery
  • Prominent heave at the left sternal border

Auscultation:

  • Single first heart sound
  • Soft fixed splitting o[[second heart sound
  • Sytolic murmur on left lower sternal border
  • Loud Pulmonic component of the second heart sound if pulmonary hypertension develops.
  • A low-pitched early diastolic rumble may be heart at the lower left sternal border and is related to increased tricuspid valve flow.
