Heart Murmur(Ages 3 To 8)
My doctor tells me my child has a normal heart murmur. What does this mean? Mostof the time, these are normal noises called innocent heart murmurs.

Extractions: Approved by the ParentCenter Medical Advisory Board What's below: My doctor tells me my child has a "normal heart murmur." What does this mean? What if it's something serious? My child's heart seems to be beating awfully fast sometimes. Is this normal? Should I worry if my child's heart seems to pound or skip a beat every so often? My doctor tells me my child has a "normal heart murmur." What does this mean? A heart murmur is a faint gurgling sound caused by blood moving through the chambers in the heart. Most of the time, these are normal noises called "innocent" heart murmurs. Up to 40 percent of young children have them. Some parents become quite anxious when they hear their child's heart might have a problem and begin to treat the child as an invalid. They pass their anxiety on to the child, who begins to think of herself as weak and vulnerable. Psychologists call this problem "vulnerable child syndrome." But a murmur does not mean that your child has a weak heart or any other health problems. It should become less audible as her body develops and her chest wall thickens, and it will probably disappear altogether as she gets bigger, although some people have innocent murmurs that continue throughout their lives. In very rare cases, a murmur can signal a problem such as a malfunctioning valve or a hole between the two chambers of the heart.

The sounds are heard with a stethoscope. Heart Murmurs are noises created by: Many children have "innocent" heart murmurs. They occur in infants and children during a fever or physical activity.

http://www.hyperdictionary.com/dictionary/heart murmurs

Extractions: Biology Dictionary Definition: Heart murmurs are heart sounds that are heard by auscultation of the chest. Some believe that turbulence of blood flow accounts for the formation of murmurs, others believe that vortex formation being the cause. Nonetheless, everybody seem to agree that they are associated with either abnormal valves (regurgitation or stenosis) or abnormal blood flow (hyperdynamic circulation producing functional murmur). A murmur is characterized by the following: the location where it is heard loudest: e.g. left sternal border, pulmonic area, aortic area; the timing of the cardiac cycle when the murmur is present: systolic ejection murmur (pansystolic), diastolic filling murmur, systolic regurgitant murmur, diastolic regurgitant murmur; the intensity of the murmur: ranges from grade I indicating a murmur not readily audible to Grad VI indicating a murmur audible with the stethoscope removed from the chest; radiation: the area along the surface of the chest where the murmur continues to be audible.

Some common causes of heart murmurs include: About 10 percent of adults and 30 percent of children (most often between ages 3 and 7) have a harmless, or innocent, murmur that is produced by a normal heart. This innocent murmur can become more apparent if someone is being examined when he or she is anxious, has a low blood count, has just finished exercising or has a fever.

Information About Common Heart Diseases Heart Murmur What is a heart murmur? A heart murmur is an extra or abnormal sound produced by the heart and heard with the stethoscope. How does it occur? In most cases the abnormal sound is the result of noisy or turbulent blood flow in the heart. The turbulence may be caused by the shape of the heart or by abnormalities of specific heart structures, such as the valves or the heart walls. Heart murmurs can be caused by congenital abnormalities (that is, abnormalities present at birth). Murmurs can result from heart infections when a person has rheumatic fever from streptococcal infections, such as strep throat; however, this occurs less often now than in the past. Some murmurs do arise from heart muscle damage resulting from coronary artery disease or hypertension. How are murmurs classified?

Depending on the confidence of the physician, some practicing pediatricians refer all murmurs while others refer only a few children. In residency it is important to become proficient in evaluating murmurs so that you can be fairly confident of what to do. Clearcut Indications for Referral to the Pediatric Cardiologist: Any child with signs of heart failure, cyanosis, tachypnea, significant murmurs, questionable PEs in the nursery. All children with Down syndrome, chromosomal abnormalities, multiple anomalies. Any child in whom you diagnose an arrhythmia, Kawasaki, collagen vascular disease (r/o myocarditis or pericarditis). Any child with a persistent murmur that sounds organic.

Extractions: Help for sleepless parents Encyclopedia Index M murmur, heart Search murmur, heart Parents are sometimes shocked to hear the doctor say, "I hear a little heart murmur," while he examines their child. The pronouncement sounds so ominous; I don't think any parent can recieve this news with anything but some trepidation. However, it is actually rare that they have anything to fear, as the discussion of functional heart murmurs makes plain. I have included in the /EncyMaster/clopedia very brief discussions of some of the more common specific heart lesions which cause these murmurs. I enter this discussion with some trepidation, because I am not a cardiologist and there are so many different cardiac lesions possible. This discussion is intended to be very baseline type information only. I will discuss a few of the more common ones briefly in the /EncyMaster/clopedia, but I leave full discussion of them to your pediatric cardiologist. With the availability of in-office cardiac ultrasonography nowadays, when parents are referred to a pediatric cardiologist they usually leave the first visit with a definitive diagnosis and prognosis and counsel about what to expect. The discussions here are actually aimed at the idly curious or concerned friends or relatives of parents whose child has been diagnosed with a specific cardiac problem. First a word or two about the normal heart. Ordinarily, the sound of the heart is a steady "lup-dup, lup-dup, lup-dup." with a rising emphasis on the dup sound. These lup-dup sounds, with which everyone is familiar, are simply the closing thumps of the heart valves as blood is pumped in the never-ending cycle of blood flow, fill-eject-refill, through the heart. The first sound is the sound of the inflow valves that fill the ventricles closing with a thump as the main pumping stroke begins; the second sound is the sound of the main outflow valves to the aorta and pulmonary arteries snapping closed at the end of the pumping stroke. The second sound is normally split, that is the aortic and pulmonic valves can be heard closing separately, since the back pressure on the aortic (to the body) valve is considerably higher than that on the pulmonic (to the lungs) valve. So actually,it is more of a "lup - dudup" rythmn.
