Continuous Chest Murmur Acquired following Pulmonary Thromboembolism

Robert S. Fraser M.D.1 and Patricia Lynne-Davies Ph.D. F.C.C.P.1

1 Department of Medicine, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada

A 38-year-old woman had a history suggestive of several previous episodes of pulmonary embolism. She had the physical findings of pulmonary hypertension, accompanied by a contunuous murmur maximal in the second right interspace. The latter developed following the suspected thromboembolic episodes. Cardiac catheterization and pulmonary angiography confirmed the presence of pulmonary. hypertension secondary to severe chronic pulmonary thromboembolic disease. This appears to be the sixth reported case of acquired pulmonary artery stenosis, with a continuous murmur following pulmonary embolism.
