WHAT DOES HEART MURMUR MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Heart murmur

Heart murmurs are pathologic heart sounds produced when blood flows across one of the heart valves that is loud enough to be heard with a stethoscope. A functional murmur or "physiologic murmur," is a heart murmur that is primarily due to physiologic conditions outside the heart, as opposed to structural defects in the heart itself. Functional murmurs are benign. Murmurs may also be the result of various problems, such as narrowing or leaking of valves, or the presence of abnormal passages through which blood flows in or near the heart. Such murmurs, known as pathologic murmurs, should be evaluated by an expert. Heart murmurs are most frequently categorized by timing, into systolic heart murmurs and diastolic heart murmurs. However, continuous murmurs cannot be directly placed into either category.
