Welcome to the paediatric cardiovascular examination page. Below you will find an infographic of what to consider in your examination as well as how to structure it. Please note that this is pitched at the MRCPCH clinical level but the generic structure of introduction > observation > hands > face > chest (inspection, palpation, auscultation) can be applied to all levels. We hope it aids you when practicing for exams or managing patients. Enjoy!
