Subject: s/l second rate intercostal space

Cardiac examination was regular with grade 2/6 systolic murmur loudest at the s/l second rate intercostal space. Her abdomen was soft and nontender without appreciable hepatosplenomegaly or masses. Bowel sounds were normal and active. No cyanosis, clubbing or edema of the extremities was noted.

TIA!!
