An article on this topic is available in this issue of AFP What is a heart murmur? A heart murmur is just a noise that the blood makes as it flows through the heart. It's like the noise water makes when it flows through a hose. Many healthy people have heart murmurs. About 80 percent of all children have a heart murmur at some time. What is a "normal" heart murmur? Most heart murmurs don't mean there is anything wrong. Your doctor may call these murmurs "innocent" or "functional." "Normal" is another word to describe these murmurs. A normal murmur is just a noise caused by blood flowing through a normal heart. A normal murmur can get louder when the blood flows faster through the heart. For example, when the body's temperature goes up, the blood flows faster. Doctors often hear heart murmurs when they check children who have a fever. Many normal murmurs become hard to hear as children grow older. Some murmurs just go away.

Extractions: Although many parents fear the worst when their child is diagnosed with a heart murmur, it's important to know that this diagnosis is actually extremely common. In fact, many kids 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. So what, exactly, is a heart murmur? By itself, the term heart murmur isn't 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 side of the heart and two are on the right. The blood returning from the body is pumped to the lungs where it's oxygenated, then pumped 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 any of the heart's chambers or valves or even through a hole within the heart. How Are Heart Murmurs Diagnosed?

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.

http://www.tmc.edu/thi/murmur.html

Extractions: (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.

Extractions: Heart murmurs may be caused by a number of factors or events, including: What are the types of murmurs? Types of murmurs include: diastolic murmur - occurs during heart muscle relaxation between beats. systolic murmur - occurs during heart muscle contraction and is graded by intensity (on a scale of one to six, with one being very faint and six being extremely loud). stenotic heart valve - valve cannot open completely, so blood is ejected through a smaller than normal opening. aortic or mitral regurgitation - valve may be unable to close completely, leading to regurgitation of blood back through the valve when it should be closed. innocent heart murmurs - sounds made by blood circulating through the chambers and valves of the heart or through blood vessels near the heart; sometimes referred to as "functional" or "physiologic" murmurs. Innocent murmurs are common in children and usually quite harmless and disappear when a child reaches adulthood, though some adults still have them.

http://www.schoolnurse.com/med_info/murmurs.html

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.

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: Dr Tracey Lambert What is a heart murmur? When your doctor listens to your heart with her stethoscope, she is listening for the normal 'lub dub' sound made with each heartbeat. (These are called the first and second heart sounds.) A heart murmur is an additional sound that is heard with the stethoscope, something like a 'whooshing' noise. It may occur at different times during the 'lub dub' cycle, e.g. between the two sounds (lub whoosh dub), after the second heart sound (lub dub whoosh) or throughout the sounds of the heart beating. Are there different types of heart murmur?

Extractions: Heart Murmurs Murmurs are sounds made by blood circulating through the heart's chambers or valves, or through blood vessels near the heart. Heart murmurs may be caused by a number of factors or diseases, including the following: 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.
