Often, they are caused by turbulent blood flow through the heart valves. Alternative Names: Chest sounds - murmurs; Heart sounds - abnormal Considerations: Heart sounds are evaluated by listening with a stethoscope ( auscultation ). They can be further evaluated with an echocardiogram to see what the exact cause of the murmur is. 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. Normal heart sounds are called S1 and S2. They are the "lubb-dupp" sounds that are thought of as the heartbeat. These sounds are produced when the heart valves close.

Early Warnings Heart Murmurs Heart Parts After A Heart Attack Sex After A Heart Attack Cardiac Rehabilitation ... Women at Risk Understanding Heart Murmurs How Serious Are They? Simply stated, a heart murmur is an abnormal sound in the heart beat. Generally, during a routine office visit, the doctor listens to your heartbeat using a stethoscope an can detect a murmur if present. In most cases, heart murmurs do not affect your health and result in some form of irregular blood flow through the heart. Some, however, are due to underlying defects in the heart or its valves and may require treatment. What are the Underlying Defects? Two common defects that can cause a heart murmur are valvular defects and septal defects. Valvular defects refer to abnormalities of the valves that keep blood from flowing "backwards" into the heart chambers. A defective valve may allow blood to back up in the wrong direction or it may block the passage of blood, thereby interrupting the normal flow. Septal defects are small breaks in the partition that separates the left and right sides of the heart (septum). These breaks can allow blood to flow irregularly between the two sides. Septal defects are more commonly found in children.

Heart murmurs: Which are innocent? 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.

What is a Heart Murmur? Causes Innocent vs. Not-Innocent Physical Signs Common Questions Plan of Action Common Questions about Heart Murmurs Are heart murmurs hereditary? This depends on what caused the heart murmur. If it is an opening in the heart, a narrowing of a valve or a narrowing of a great artery it may be hereditary. Is it possible my husband grew out of his heart murmur? He may have had a small opening in his heart which may have closed on its own, so the sound which it was making (murmur) disappeared. Or, he may have had an innocent murmur, which became not audible, as his chest grew bigger. How do doctors figure it out? Your family doctor or pediatrician performs a detailed examination, and by listening to the heart murmur tries to determine whether it is innocent or not. If he thinks the heart murmur is serious, he may consult with a pediatric cardiologist. The emergency room doctor found that my son has a heart murmur, although his pediatrician for five years never told us that he heard a murmur. What is going on? If your child was having fever at the time of the ER visit, this may explain the murmur, which usually disappears after the fever subsides. Discuss the situation with your pediatrician. If the heart murmur is still present, this may warrant a referral to a Pediatric Cardiologist.

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.

Home Kidzone Parents Members ... Up Innocent Heart Murmurs of Childhood What is an innocent heart murmur? Heart murmurs are extra noises heard with each heartbeat. Some murmurs occur even though the heart and blood vessels are completely normal. These murmurs are called innocent murmurs. There are several different types of innocent murmurs that occur in childhood. Some occur when the child is very young, and others are heard later in childhood. What causes innocent heart murmurs? The heartbeat has two distinct sounds that you can hear with a stethoscope. These two thumping sounds are the sounds of the heart valves closing. A heart murmur is heard in between these two normal valve sounds. The murmur sound is caused by blood flowing turbulently through the heart, like the sound of a stream flowing into a whitewater pool. A murmur can occur in several different parts of the heart and blood vessels even though the heart is completely normal. Are innocent murmurs common? Innocent murmurs occur in about half of all children at some time during childhood. How are innocent murmurs diagnosed?

Understanding Teenage Depression Parenting Advice Heart Murmurs Giving Your Heart a Scare? These two words, heart, and murmur, are likely to strike fear in the hearts of many parents. What parents do not realize is that a heart murmur is not always a sign of a serious problem. A heart murmur is simply the sound given to the flow of blood through the heart. Of course there are some murmurs caused by serious cardiac conditions. It is always important to listen closely to your child's pediatrician when a murmur is involved. Here are a couple of common facts about heart murmurs that may help to set your soul at ease. Healthy children get heart murmurs too. Some murmurs are caused by abnormal causes but the opposite is just as true. Anxiety is one normal cause and fever is another. These two things speed up the flow of blood through the heart and often cause murmurs. If your child is diagnosed with a heart murmur try not worrying too much initially. Wait until all factors are made clear. Most likely the murmur will be less serious than you think. Many heart murmurs are innocent and your child will still be able to play sports and live a normal life! Return To Previous Page Dating Engagement Marriage ...
