sound caused by turbulent blood flow across a heart valve(s) heard by a doctor using a stethoscope.
Heard through a physician's stethoscope, it is the sound of turbulent blood passing through the heart. Heart murmurs are possible indications of abnormal blood flow and may be caused by a disorder of a heart valve (structure which opens to allow blood to flow away from the heart, and closes to prevent back flow into the heart). Many murmers are benign (of no significance).
a murmur is a sound made by blood moving round the heart: sometimes but not always this could be caused by a heart defect
an abnormal sound of the heart; sometimes a sign of abnormal function of the heart valves
a defect in the valve between the artria and the ventricles- it could be a partial tear or a complete tear, a thickening of the valve or it could be due to a fever or your pet could grow out of it with age
a distortion of the heartbeat due to blood flowing back through a valve that should be closed
an abnormal blowing, whooshing
an abnormal, extra sound during the heartbeat cycle made by blood moving through the heart and its valves
an abnormal, extra sound heard with each heartbeat
an abnormal heart sound detected when a doctor listens to the heart through a stethoscope
an abnormal sound a physician hears when listening to a person's heart through a stethoscope
an abnormal sound heard while examining the heart with a stethoscope
an abnormal sound made by abnormal, turbulent blood flow within the heart
an abnormal swishing or whooshing sound made by blood moving through the heart, heart valves, or blood vessels near the heart during the heartbeat cycle
an extra heart sound heard with each heartbeat
an extra or abnormal sound produced by the heart and heard with the stethoscope
an extra or unusual sound heard during your heartbeat
an extra sound heard between the lups and dups, that is between the valve sounds
an extra sound heard during a heartbeat that is caused by turbulence in blood flow through the heart
an extra sound heard with a stethoscope when listening to the heart
a noise heard between the beats of the heart
a noise that the blood makes as it flows through the heart
a noise that the heart makes when blood does not flow smoothly through the heart
an unusual sound heard when the doctor listens to the heart with a stethoscope
a quiet but audible sound emanating from the chest in addition to the normal heart sounds
a series of vibratory sounds made by turbulent blood flow
a sound caused by blood flow within the heart
a sound created by turbulence in the flow of blood within the heart
a sound in the heartbeat that is often detected during a routine office visit
a sound lasting longer or louder than the normal heart sounds
a sound made because the blood that circulates through the heart's chambers and valves or through its vessels makes a sound
a sound made between beats of the heart
a sound made by blood circulating through the heart's chambers or blood vessels
a sound produced as blood flows through the chambers and
a sound that the doctor can hear with a stethoscope
a swishing or a whistling sound that the doctor hears when he listens to your child's heart with a stethoscope
a swishing sound heard when there is turbulent or abnormal blood flow across the heart valve
a turbulence of blood flow as it goes through the heart valves (mitral or tricuspid)
a whooshing, humming or rasping sound between the heartbeat sounds
a whooshing sound between the beats that a doctor hears through a stethoscope
Any sound in the region of the heart other than normal heart sounds.
Sounds heard through a stethoscope which are caused by turbulent flow of blood across heart valves, often, but not always, representing congenital or acquired abnormalities of the valves.
A sound generated by disturbed blood flow through the heart manifested as "turbulence". Turbulence is an irregular condition of motion caused by local vibrations of the wall of a vessel or heart chamber. Heart murmurs are usually detectable in ventricular outflow obstruction and in various types of heart valve disease and are differentiated from heart sounds, a physiological concept.
A noise that occurs as blood flows through the heart, that can be heard by listening with a stethoscope. Some murmurs are heard in children with normal hearts; others may indicate a structural abnormality that may or may not be serious.
whooshing sound caused by the turbulent flow of blood from the left ventricle across the mitral valve and back into the left atrium
An unusual heart sound which may be innocent or reflect disease.
An abnormal heart sound produced when blood flows too rapidly or too chaotically through a portion of the heart; a common sign of heart disease.
An abnormal sound caused by turbulent blood flow as a result of a defective heat valve or certain forms of congenital heart disease.
Heart murmurs are quite common in the elderly. As the body ages, muscle cells in the heart gradually degenerate and the valves, which control the pattern of blood flow, gradually thicken. Erratic blood flow patterns cause vibrations, heard as roaring or rasping sounds called heart murmurs. A person with a heart murmur may not necessarily have heart disease, and heart disease does not necessarily cause a heart murmur.
Murmurs are abnormal heart sounds that are produced as a result of turbulent blood flow, which is sufficient to produce audible noise. This most commonly results from narrowing or leaking of valves or the presence of abnormal passages through which blood flows in or near the heart. Murmurs are not usually part of the normal cardiac physiology and thus warrant further investigations.
