====Heart Sounds:====
*The pelvic area should be shielded if a chest x-ray is done. The heart may seem enlarged due to elevation of the diaphragm and this should be interpreted with caution.
*Increased first heart sound
*Persistent split S2
*Third heart sound is uncommon
 
====Murmur:====
*Pulmonic [[Heart murmur#Systolic Murmurs|midsystolic murmur]]
*[[Continuous murmur]] (mammary soufflé, cervical hum)
*In general there are often innocent [[murmurs]] of pregnancy. These are the result of a hyperkinetic circulation. These murmurs are usually midsystolic and soft and heard best at the left lower sternal border and over the pulmonic area.
