In our session today we Discussed at the cardiovascular station: murmurs are very important And it is expected that the candidate will be able to identify common murmurers heard in the paediatric setting. My experience is that murmurs cause a lot of anxiety and concern.

We discussed the following murmurs in context Of the exam with visual phonographic reinforcement to help remember:

• Ventricular septal defect

• Atrial septal defect

• Pulmonary stenosis

• Patent Ductus Arteriosus

• Aortic stenosis

• Aortic regurgitation

• Aortic stenosis and Aortic regurgitation combined

• Innocent murmur.

Also discussed basic physiology for Clinical reasoning in the exam.
