    Extractions: Many parents fear the worst when their child is diagnosed with a heart murmur, but it's important to know that this diagnosis is extremely common. In fact, many children are found to have a heart murmur at some point during their lives. Most murmurs are not a cause for concern and do not affect the child's health at all. What exactly is a heart murmur? Read on to find out what they are and what the diagnosis may mean for your child. Definition By itself, the term heart murmur is not a diagnosis of an illness or disorder, but to understand what it does mean, it's important to know how the heart works. The heart is divided into four chambers; two are on the left and two are on the right. The blood pumped by the heart is oxygenated by the lungs and then carried through the arteries to the rest of the body. After the oxygen has been used, the blood returns to the heart through the veins and is pumped through the lungs again. The word murmur describes a swishing sound made as the blood flows through the heart's chambers, valves, or a hole within the heart. A murmur can be heard through a stethoscope between normal heartbeats or in conjunction with them. Because a child's heart is very close to the chest wall, subtle noises can be heard more easily.

    Extractions: A heart murmur is a swishing or a whistling sound that the doctor hears when he listens to your heart. The doctor uses a tool called a stethoscope to listen to the heart. A murmur is usually present when there is a heart valve problem. The doctor will perform a variety of tests to determine what kind of valve problem you have and if the valve problem is serious. Some of the tests performed are: an echocardiogram, an electrocardiogram, a chest x-ray, or cardiac catheterization. What is a Heart Valve? A valve is a 'one way door' that keeps blood moving in your heart. If there is a problem with a valve, the heart has to work harder to pump blood to the body. Heart Valve Problems Heart Valve disease occurs when a valve doesn't work properly. If a valve doesn't open all the way, less blood can move through the smaller opening. If a valve doesn't close tightly, blood may leak backward. These problems can cause the heart to work harder to pump the same amount of blood. Or blood may back up in the lungs or body because it's not moving efficiently through the heart. When the valve doesn't open completely, it is called Stenosis. When it doesn't close completely it is called Insufficiency or Regurgitation.

    Extractions: Many children have a heart murmur, especially during febrile illness. Most of these are "innocent", or "functional" murmurs, but some are caused by organic heart defects that are asymptomatic. When a heart murmur is detected during routine physical exam, a careful review of the child's appearance and history often provides clues about the murmur's significance. The classical innocent murmur is the vibratory systolic murmur referred to as Still's murmur. It is soft and of low frequency with a somewhat musical quality, like plucking a string or rubber band. This murmur is of short duration and occurs between the two heart sounds (mid-systole) and is often referred to as "physiologic", or "not significant." Other innocent murmurs are soft, quiet and "blowing" in character. Innocent murmurs often come and go. Also they may disappear if the child sits up or lies down. Once a murmur is discovered, (provided it's not a classical Still's murmur), observation of the child is important, along with noting vital signs. Is the color of mucous membranes and nailbeds pink or dusky (cyanotic)? Is exercise intolerance present? By history, have there been syncopal episodes or palpitations? All these findings suggest an organic murmur.

Heart murmurs are common in children and are usually harmless. Return to top Heart murmurs usually don't mean there is anything wrong with your child's heart. Your doctor may call these murmurs "innocent" or "functional." An innocent murmur is just a noise caused by blood flowing through a normal heart. These noises are commonly heard in children because their hearts are very close to their chest walls. An innocent murmur can get louder or softer depending on your child's heart rate, such as when they're excited or scared. Doctors often hear heart murmurs when they check children who have a fever. Many innocent murmurs become hard to hear as children grow older and most usually go away on their own. Return to top What does it mean if my child has an innocent heart murmur?

    Extractions: [Return to main] Heart Murmur What is a heart murmur? A heart murmur is the sound of blood flow in the chest heard with the stethoscope. If it is heard elsewhere, it is called a bruit. It does not necessarily mean there is an abnormality, just that it is detected. (Similar to hearing water going through a pipe – you hear it – and just because you hear it does not mean it is abnormal). The term "murmur" should not be confused with the term "abnormal murmur" just as the word "temperature" should not be confused with the term "fever". However, people mistakenly use both terms interchangeably. Murmurs are not always significant. – they may be normal or innocent . Innocent murmurs are usually found incidentally during a physical exam. They require no further evaluation. Pathologic murmurs are due to abnormal blood flow, usually as a result of a cardiac abnormality. These ought to be referred to a pediatric cardiologist (even prior to testing to avoid duplication and the improper performance of tests). How does it occur?

    Extractions: The heart has four chambers two upper chambers (called atria) and two lower chambers (ventricles). The heart has valves that temporarily close to permit blood flow in only one direction. The valves are located between the atria and ventricles, and between the ventricles and the major arteries from the heart.

    Extractions: The Tell-Tale Heart Murmur First published in "YOUR DOG", Tafts University School of Veterinary Medicine., Aug 2000. Reprinted w/ permission of the Author. Lup-dup, lup-dup, lup-dup. That's the sound of a normal heartbeat. As most of us learned in school, the heart operates with a pumplike action. Divided into four chambers-right atrium, right ventricle, left atrium, left ventricle-the heart has four valves that work to keep blood flowing in one direction. The valves open and close, letting blood in and then pumping it out. That lup-dup sound is created from the movement of the valves and the flowing of the blood. But what happens when valves become diseased or worn? Often, they fall to close completely with each heartbeat, resulting in a backwash of blood. The effect is an abnormal sound called a heart murmur. The sound a murmur makes depends on when it occurs in the cardiac cycle. A murmur that occurs when the ventricles are beating is called a systolic murmur. A murmur that occurs when the ventricles are relaxed-a period called cardiac diastole-is called a diastolic murmur. Instead of going lup-dup, lup-dup, the heart with a systolic murmur goes lup-shh-dup; a heart with a diastolic murmur makes the sound lup-dup-shh. LISTENING TO LEARN
