The use of the hepatic pressure maneuver to identify the murmur of tricuspid regurgitation.

abstract：:Primary tumors of the heart are infrequent at all ages. We present a newborn with hypoxia and a heart murmur, in whom an echocardiogram revealed a large tumor filling the right ventricle and the pulmonary annulus. To maintain pulmonary blood flow, the patency of the ductus arteriosus was achieved by infusion of prosta...
