The normal sounds a heart makes are from the valves closing. If there is any turbulence in the blood flow through the heart or major blood vessels around the heart, a murmur is heard. Return to Top Heart murmurs can generally be divided into two categories: Murmurs that are not due to structural problems in the heart also called "innocent murmurs" or "functional murmurs." Murmurs which are due to a structural problem of the heart (such as a hole in the heart, a narrowed heart valve or a leaky heart valve). Return to Top Our pediatrician heard a murmur in our child and has recommended that we see a pediatric cardiologist. What happens next? Most murmurs can be categorized into one of the above two categories with a careful evaluation by a pediatric cardiologist. The physician will ask a number of questions about your child's growth, development, frequency of illnesses, and family history of heart disease.

Many people with a heart murmur have normal hearts and are still able to exercise and live normal lives. There are many types of heart murmurs. They range from harmless and of no consequence to very serious heart and health problems. A heart murmur may be a symptom of one of the following: Symptoms related to serious heart murmurs vary. Some examples include fatigue, pale complexion, shortness of breath, loss of appetite, heart attack, stroke, fever, and arthritic pain in joints. If you have symptoms such as these, seek medical help. Some people with a heart murmur live their whole lives without any problems. Active lifestyles are maintained and aerobic exercise offers added benefits. The heart is a muscle, and like any muscle, it gets stronger with exercise. Aerobic exercise strengthens the heart and makes it more efficient. Examples are walking, jogging, swimming, cycling, or aerobic dance. A good aerobic exercise program does not have to be strenuous. Keeping a moderate aerobic pace for just 30 minutes a day provides the same benefits with fewer risks as strenuous activity. Do the "talk test" to set the pace. If the pace is too fast to talk comfortably to a companion, slow down.

Extractions: 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

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 (

Further help 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.

Extractions: Send it to a friend! Last week I took my daughter for her three-year check and the doctor thought she could hear a heart murmur. She said it might be nothing, especially as my daughter had been crying in the waiting room. We have to go back in a month's time so she can listen again, but of course I'm very worried. How likely is it that there's a problem? Rani It's quite common for a young child such as your daughter to have what's known as an innocent heart murmur (also known as a physiological or functional heart murmur), which is quite harmless. So it's unlikely that there's a problem, especially if your daughter is quite fit and well. However, murmurs due to disease or abnormalities can sometimes be picked up in small children, so it's important that you do return to your doctor to have the murmur rechecked. Murmurs are abnormal noises A murmur is simply an abnormal noise coming from the heart. The heart usually makes very specific noises as it beats and contracts, caused by blood moving from one chamber of the heart to another. If there are heart abnormalities, such as problems with the valves or an enlarged chamber, this can change these noises and a murmur is heard.

How to evaluate a murmur? Search for symptoms or signs of congenital heart disease. Patients with innocent heart murmurs should be free of such symptoms or signs. Therefore, when history is obtained and during physical examination symptoms and signs which may point to heart disease should be identified. The presence of symptoms and/or signs of heart disease will suggest the pathological nature of the heart murmur being investigated. History Abnormal findings indicating a pathological orgin of a heart murmur include: Shortness of Breath (SOB): This results from pulmonary edema due to increased pulmonary blood flow. Fluid escaping the engorged pulmonary vasculature will interfere with normal gaseous exchange, resulting in hypoxia which precipitates tachypnea and SOB, particularly with exertion such as feeding. Easy fatigue: This results from pulmonary edema and poor cardiac output.
