Heart murmur is an extra, unexpected sound made by blood as it moves through the heart.
The sounds can be heard with a device called a stethoscope and feel like as whooshing or swishing sounds made by rapid, turbulent blood flow through the heart.
Heart murmurs can be congenital – present at birth or acquired – develop later in life.
There are 2 types of murmurs – an innocent or harmless heart murmur is not a sign of a serious concern or heart condition and doesn’t need treatment, but certain murmurs may be a sign of a serious heart condition. (Tests are needed to check and rule out both types and take steps accordingly)
- Diastolic murmur when the heart is filling with blood
- Systolic murmur when the heart is emptying
- Continuous murmur that is throughout the heartbeat
- Innocent or harmless murmur – common in newborns and children.
