Popis: Innocent heart murmur is a frequent auscultatory finding in children. The diagnosis is essentially clinical, without need for further investigation. However, excluding heart disease can be a difficult task. This review article describes some features of medical history and physical examination that help in this differentiation. The role of diagnostic tests is also examined.
