Part IV: Cardiovascular Physiology Case Studies
A 15-year-old girl sees her family physician for a routine school athletic physical. Upon routine examination, her physician detects a reasonably loud systolic murmur when placing her stethoscope parasternally around the second and third intercostal spaces, but her physical exam is otherwise unremarkable.
