Overview- The physical finding depends on the degree of obstruction and the degree of left-to-right shunting.
The physical examination in patients with total anomalous pulmonary venous connection depends on the following factors-
- Type of anatomic connection present between systemic and pulmonary venous circulation
- Degree of obstruction
- Type of obstruction (obstructed, unobstructed)
- Amount of right to left shunting
Physical Examination
General Physical examination
- Cyanosis (right to left shunt)
- Decreased pulses (low systemic blood flow)
- Hypotension (low systemic blood flow)
- Tachypnea (right sided volume overload)
- Hepatomegaly, peripheral edema (right sided heart failure)
Cardiovascular examination
Inspection
- Precodial asymmetry indicating right ventricular hypertrophy
Palpation
- Right ventricular heave
Auscultation
- Prominent, Fixed split second heart sound (S2)
- S3 gallop
- Systolic ejection murmur at left upper sternal border
- Diastolic murmur due to tricuspid regurgitation
