What is a heart murmur? What is an arrhythmia? ... When should I call the doctor? How does the heart work? The heart is a muscle. It has four chambers and four valves. These are like 2 rooms with four doors. The heart pushes out oxygen rich blood. The blood travels through the body then comes back to the heart for more oxygen. The process starts all over again. What is a heart murmur? Heart murmurs are common. The term heart murmur does not mean an illness or disorder. A murmur is the sound of blood being pumped through the heart's chambers and valves. A murmur is sometimes, but not always, a sign of an arrhythmia. What is an arrhythmia? An arrhythmia is when the heart does not beat at a regular pace. The heart may beat too fast, too slow, or irregularly. There are different kinds of arrhythmias, depending on where they are in the heart.

Upper Respiratory A heart murmur is an abnormal blowing, whooshing or rasping sound in the heartbeat. It is the result of vibrations caused by abnormal (turbulent) blood flow patterns. Normal heart sounds are often described as a constant "lub-dub, lub-dub." The first "lub-dub" is the sound of the mitral and tricuspid valves closing. The second "lub-dub" is the sound of the aortic and pulmonary valves closing soon after. If there is a problem, a murmur (blowing, whooshing or rasping) may be added to this normal "lub-dub." A murmur may be caused by temporary increase in blood flow that results from a fever or stress. Heart murmurs can sometimes, though, be a sign of a more serious heart problem such as disease or damage to one or more heart valves, a hole in one of the heart walls or a narrowing in one of the heart's vessels. However, a murmur does not necessarily indicate a disease or disorder and all heart disorders do not cause heart murmurs.

Murmurs of the Heart A heart murmur is a sound produced as blood flows through the chambers and large blood vessels of the heart during the cardiac cycle of contraction and relaxation. Some murmurs are benign or harmless and are more of a finding than a condition. A benign murmur is not associated with any significant underlying abnormality of the heart or its vessels. Many young people can have benign flow murmurs and still have normal cardiac structure and function. A pathologic heart murmur is one associated with a structural or functional abnormality of the heart. Most murmurs are produced as blood flows past the cardiac valves, which separate the chambers of the heart, or through the valves that lead to the great vessels of the lungs and the systemic circulation. If the flow is excessive or turbulent, a murmur may be manifest. Blood flowing through a tight valve will produce a murmur. Blood that is leaking back across an improperly sealing valve also can cause a murmur. Occasionally, abnormal communications (holes) between chambers of the heart can result in the presence of a murmur. Diagnosing a heart murmur begins with auscultation of (listening to) the heart-usually with a stethoscope. The location, quality, pitch and variation in the sound are all important clues to whether the murmur is benign or pathologic. One of the most useful tests in evaluating a murmur is an echocardiogram. This is a sound wave test that produces a real-time image of the beating heart and is very good in assessing the status and function of the cardiac valves and chambers. Sometimes further studies, such as cardiac catheterization, will be required to further track down the specific abnormality and its significance, and to determine which cases will require treatment.

What is a heart murmur? A heart murmur is an abnormal sound caused by turbulent blood flow. They can occur as a result of any various heart valve defects or type of congenital heart disease. The first normal sound of the heart results from the closure of the tricuspid and mitral valves at the exits from the upper chambers of the heart. The second normal heart sound is caused by the closure of the pulmonary and aortic valves at the exits from the ventricles when they have finished contracting. With a stethoscope the second heart sound is heard to consist of a double sound, especially in children and young adults. This is caused by a slight delay between the closure of the aortic and pulmonary valves. This is a normal sound. In children and young adults that is often a normal low pitched third heart sound after the second sound. But in people over the age 40, this sound is abnormal and a sign of heart failure. bodyOffer(5688) If there is any abnormality of the heart muscle a fourth sound that is low pitched will often precede the first sound. An opening snap is also abnormal and may occur during the opening of the mitral valve. This is a high pitched sound that is heard shortly after the second heart sound and may be accompanied by a presystolic murmur. This is associated with mitral stenosis. An ejection sound or click is a high pitched sound caused by the abrupt halting of the valve opening. These are known to occur in hypertension or high blood pressure and in the heart valve defects such a mitral valve prolapse, aortic stenosis or pulmonary stenosis. Any abnormalities of the heart valves or heart structures can create turbulent blood flow that causes characteristics sounds that are called murmurs. Turbulent blood flows usually occur as blood moves through narrowed or leaking valves. Research has shown that not all heart disease will cause murmurs and not all murmurs indicate heart disease.

Packard Heart Surgeon Performs Operation on Smallest Infant Cardiovascular Diseases Heart Murmurs What is a heart murmur? Murmurs are sounds made by blood circulating through the heart's chambers or valves, or through blood vessels near the heart. What causes a heart murmur? Heart murmurs may be caused by a number of factors or diseases, including the following: defective heart valves holes in the heart walls surgical repair of congenital (present at birth) heart defects fever anemia (a decrease in the red cells in the blood) What are the different types of murmurs? Your child's physician will evaluate a murmur based on several factors. Murmurs are analyzed for pitch, loudness, and duration. They also are graded according to their intensity (on a scale of one to six, with one being very faint and six being very loud). Types of murmurs include the following: systolic murmur - a heart murmur that occurs during a heart muscle contraction. Systolic murmurs are divided into ejection murmurs (due to blood flow through a narrowed vessel or irregular valve) and regurgitant murmurs.

Resources Heart murmurs Definition A heart murmur is an abnormal, extra sound during the heartbeat cycle made by blood moving through the heart and its valves. It is detected by the physician's examination using a stethoscope. Description A heart which is beating normal makes two sounds, "lubb" when the valves between the atria and ventricles close, and "dupp" when the valves between the ventricles and the major arteries close. A heart murmur is a series of vibratory sounds made by turbulent blood flow. The sounds are longer than normal heart sounds and can be heard between the normal sounds of the heart. Heart murmurs are common in children and can also result from heart or valve defects. Nearly two thirds of heart murmurs in children are produced by a normal heart and are harmless. This type of heart murmur is usually called an "innocent" heart murmur. It can also be called "functional" or "physiologic." Innocent heart murmurs are usually very faint, intermittent, and occur in a small area of the chest. Pathologic heart murmurs may indicate the presence of a serious heart defect. They are louder, continual, and may be accompanied by a click or gallop. Some heart murmurs are continually present; others happen only when the heart is working harder than usual, including during

Heart Murmurs (En español) Normal heart sounds come in pairs. The sounds are often described as a constant "lub-dub, lub-dub." The first "lub-dub" is the sound of the mitral and tricuspid valves closing. The second "lub-dub" is the sound of the aortic and pulmonary valves closing soon after. But if there is a problem, a murmur may be added to this normal "lub-dub." By using a stethoscope to listen to your heart, your doctor's trained ear can tell if the abnormal sound indicates turbulence. This is called a heart murmur. Some heart murmurs are a harmless type called innocent heart murmurs. They are common in children and do not require treatment or lifestyle changes. In most cases, innocent murmurs disappear when children reach adulthood.

A-Z Children's Ailments Heart murmurs by Dr Trisha Macnair What is it? Symptoms Further help What is it? The heart normally makes a recognisable sequence of whooshing and clicking sounds as blood is pumped through its chambers and valves open and close. Heart murmurs are abnormal sounds coming from the heart that can be heard using a stethoscope (or sometimes even just by listening with an ear at the chest.) What causes it? Heart murmurs are very common in babies and young children. The majority are not a sign of a problem with the heart but simply result from the fast rate at which children’s hearts beat, or normal variations in the structure of the heart. Some factors, such a fever or excitement, make an innocent murmur more likely because they increase the speed at which the heart pumps. But a heart murmur is also the commonest sign of congenital heart disease, due to abnormal development of the heart tissues. This includes atrial or ventricular septal defects (“hole in the heart”, or abnormal hole between two heart chambers), patent ductus arteriosus (a connection between vessels from the heart which should close after birth but doesn’t), abnormalities of the heart valves and a variety of other rarer problems. Heart murmurs may also be caused by heart failure and infection involving the heart.
