a characteristic sound (heard through a stethoscope) of blood flowing irregularly through the heart; can be harmless or may be an indication of disease
term for unusual or abnormal heart sounds; incomplete closure of heart valves resulting in regurgitation of blood into the preceding chamber
a low continuous indistinct sound; often accompanied by movement of the lips without the production of articulate speech
an abnormal sound of the heart; sometimes a sign of abnormal function of the heart valves
a abnormal sound made by blood that is flowing irregularly, or turbulently in the heart or arteries
an abnormal blood flow your doctor can hear with a stethoscope
an extra heart sound heard with each heartbeat
an extra "whooshing" sound as blood flows through the chambers and valves of the heart
a noise produced by blood flowing through an abnormal valve and heard with a stethoscope
a series of audible vibrations produced by turbulence of circulating blood
a sound made by the blood as it passes through the heart
a sound that the heart can make
a swishing sound made by blood flowing through a stenotic or leaky valve
a vibration caused by disturbance of blood flow
An abnormal sound made by blood moving through the heart valves (usually because the valves either do not open properly or do not close properly), the heart chambers or the blood vessels near the heart.
The noise between normal heart sounds caused by blood flow.
A sound due to vibrations from the flow of blood through the heart or great vessels. A murmur may be innocent and be of no significance. Or it may be pathologic and reflect disease. A murmur is usually heard with a stethoscope.
A murmur is caused by turbulent blood flow within the heart. In Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy a murmur may be due to increased force of contraction and/or narrowing of the outflow tract. By analogy, increased pressure in a water hosepipe and/or narrowing of the outlet will cause turbulence.
a blowing or rasping sound heard while listening to the heart that may or may not indicate problems within the heart or circulatory system.
An extra heart sound that may be normal or abnormal.
Whistling sound made by the heart, sometimes caused by a problem with a heart valve. Heart murmurs may not be indicative of a heart problem, other tests can confirm a diagnosis.
Heart murmurs are sounds made as the blood moves through the heart. (Read about heart murmurs in " The Heart and Its Valves")
The sound caused by turbulent flow which results from blood flowing abnormally. For example, the turbulent flow could be caused by a hole in the heart, or the obstruction of a valve.
a blowing or rasping sound made by abnormal blood flow through the heart and heard with a stethoscope.
A heart Murmur is defined as the sound caused by turbulent blood flow through the heart, as heard by a physician through a stethoscope. Most heart murmurs are benign, but sometimes a murmur can indicate problems such as a malfunctioning heart valve.
An abnormal heart sound heard between the normal heart sounds.
An abnormal sound in the heart produced by vibrations of the valves, the walls of the heart and the great vessels. More from: WebMD, The Cleveland Clinic - Murmur
noises superimposed on normal heart sounds. They are caused by congenital defects or damaged heart valves that do not close properly and allow blood to leak back into the chamber from which it has come.
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 heart sound that is caused by blood flowing in the wrong direction.
an abnormal heart sound associated with the opening or closing of a heart valve. This may indicate a structural or functional abnormality.
Noise produced by blood flow in the heart and vessels.
is an abnormal sound caused by blood flow through a defective heart valve or narrowed chamber.
Sounds made by turbulent blood moving through the chambers and valves of the heart or through the blood vessels near the heart, may signify a structural defect in the heart or valves.
