64. Cardiothoracic Surgery Www.openheartsurgery.com: Heart Murmurs Includes an explanation of how heart valves work, and audio files with the sounds of common heart valve murmurs. http://www.openheartsurgery.com/heart_murmur.html

What is a Heart Murmur? If you have a heart valve problem, your doctor has probably heard a sound called a murmur. To find out what kind of valve problem you have, your doctor may have ordered various tests, including an echocardiogram, an electrocardiogram, a chest x-ray, or cardiac catheterization. You may have taken medications to help treat your valve problem. If you have been referred to us, your doctor is recommending heart valve surgery. During this surgery, problem heart valves will either be repaired or replaced. What are Heart Valves? Your heart is a pumping muscle that works nonstop to keep your body supplied with oxygen rich blood. Four one-way heart valves keep blood moving in one direction through the heart. Problems with one or more valves may cause restriction of flow through the valve or leakage of the valve. How Normal Heart Valves Work The heart is divided into four chambers. The upper chambers are called atria and the lower chambers are called ventricles. The heart muscle contracts blood from chamber to chamber. With each contraction, the valves open to let blood through to the next chamber. The valves then close to stop blood from moving backward. In this way, the valves keep blood moving through the heart and out to the body. Heart Valve Problems Valve disease occurs when a valve doesn't work the way it should. 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 may mean the heart has 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.

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. diastolic murmur - a heart murmur that occurs during heart muscle relaxation between beats. Diastolic murmurs are due to a narrowing of the mitral or tricuspid valves, or regurgitation of the aortic or pulmonary valves.

Main Search Index Definition Description Causes ... 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

72. Heart Murmurs murmurs are audible successive sounds with distinct duration, It is usefulto describe murmurs on the basis of five auscultatory criteria (Table 2). http://maxshouse.com/heart_murmurs.htm

Max's House Heart Murmurs Clay A. Calvert PROBLEM DEFINITION AND RECOGNITION Murmurs are audible successive sounds with distinct duration, as opposed to normal heart sounds, which are short transitory events. Cardiac murmurs result from turbulence created in laminar blood flow. When the flow velocity of fluid within a pipe exceeds a certain value, turbulence develops and energy is dissipated, which generates audible vibrations. Turbulence may also arise when fluid passes through a small hole in a plate that partially occludes a pipe, when the pipe diameter changes abruptly, or when a jet of fluid strikes a surface. A critical level of turbulence must be achieved to produce a sound that is clinically evident. The characteristics of the murmur depend upon the velocity of blood flow and the surrounding structures that are caused to vibrate. Blood velocity and blood density variations can also produce turbulence within the heart and arteries. CLASSIFICATION Heart murmurs may be classified as (1) innocent, (2) functional, or (3) pathologic ( Table 1 ). It is useful to describe murmurs on the basis of five auscultatory criteria (

Skip navigation Business Katrina's Cost Real Estate ... Most Popular NBC NEWS MSNBC TV Today Show Nightly News Meet the Press ... Eye on the Economy Murmurs of stagflation hint at challenge for Fed Slowing growth, rising prices offer faint echo of 1970s Martin Wolk Chief economics correspondent MSNBC The word "stagflation" conjures up some pretty frightening memories. Long lines at gas stations. Unemployment over 10 percent. Double-digit mortgage rates. So let's specify at the start that what is going on in the economy right now is nothing like your father's stagflation - a nasty combination of hyperinflation, high unemployment and persistently sluggish growth that foiled policy-makers a generation ago. (Remember President Ford's ineffective "Whip Inflation Now" buttons?) Still, economic growth is clearly slowing at the same time inflation is rising, an unpleasant alignment of factors that could pose a tough puzzle for the Federal Reserve in the near future as central bankers consider whether to continue raising interest rates. Princeton economist Paul Krugman wrote in his New York Times column this week that stagflation fears were behind last week's sharp drop in stock prices, which was partly reversed in a big rebound Thursday.

Further help Causes Heart murmurs are common in babies and young children. The majority aren't a sign of a problem with the heart but result from the fast rate at which children's hearts beat or normal variations in the structure of the heart. Some factors, such as fever or excitement, make an innocent murmur more likely because they increase the speed at which the heart pumps. A heart murmur is also the most common sign of congenital heart disease However, a heart murmur is also the most common 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 an abnormal hole between two heart chambers), patent ductus arteriosus (a connection between vessels from the heart that should close after birth but doesn't), abnormalities of the heart valves and other rarer problems. Heart murmurs may also be caused by heart failure and infection involving the heart.
