Excerpt

A 3-day-old neonate born at 37 weeks gestation was referred to our clinic for evaluation of a heart murmur. She was noted to have tachypnea with feeds but had no diaphoresis or cyanosis. At presentation, she was nondysmorphic and had minimal distress, with heart rate of 166 beats/min, a variable respiratory rate of 24–87 breaths/min, a blood pressure 60/30, and an oxygen saturation of 95% in room air. She weighed 2.4 kg (24th percentile). Her cardiovascular examination was significant for a right ventricular tap, with a grade 3/6 systolic ejection murmur best heard at the left midsternal border. There were no gallops or rubs. No organomegaly was noted. …
