Overview
In a patient with a heart murmur, a complete blood count (CBC) may be useful in evaluating anemia as a contributing condition, thyroid function tests may be checked to rule out hyperthyroidism, blood cultures may be helpful in excluding endocarditis, and a pregnancy test to exclude pregnancy.
Summary of possible finding

Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) may be beneficial to evaluate the structure and function of the left atrium and left ventricle as well as the severity of the mitral regurgitation when echocardiography findings are inconclusive.[4] | Mitral regurgitation cardiac catheterization |
| MS | Chest X-ray shows left atrial enlargement (double right heart border), a prominent pulmonary artery (suggestive of an elevation in the pulmonary artery pressure), and kerley lines (suggestive of interstial pulmonary edema).[5][6] |

Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) may be helpful to evaluate the structure and function of the left atrium and left ventricle as well as the severity of the mitral stenosis when echocardiography findings are inconclusive. | Mitral stenosis cardiac catheterization |
| AR | Chest X-ray findings may include left ventricular enlargement, cardiomegaly, prominent aortic root with valvular calcification. If aortic regurgitation is severe, signs of pulmonary edema may be present.[8] | In aortic regurgitation, the electrocardiography findings are nonspecific. it may include left axis deviation and signs of left ventricular hypertrophy.[9] | Aortic regurgitation cardiac MRI | |
| AS | Chest X-ray findings associated with aortic stenosis include left ventricular enlargement and calcification of the aortic valve.[10][11] | No specific findings on the EKG, the presence of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) secondary to chronic pressure overload of the left ventricle due to aortic stenosis is commonly observed.[12] | Aortic stenosis MRI | Aortic stenosis cardiac catheterization |
