Heart murmur:This is an abnormal 'whooshing' sound of the heart, which can either be harmless or indicative of an underlying issue. The sound is produced when blood flows through a heart valve, passes through a constricted chamber, or moves via an atypical connection between heart chambers. In some cases, a heart murmur does not signify any health problem and is called a functional heart murmur. There are various types of heart murmurs, each associated with different heart conditions. These murmurs are identified by their position, timing, duration, as well as the intensity and nature of the sound produced. A doctor typically detects a heart murmur while listening to the chest with a stethoscope. Although the heart murmur itself is not treated, the underlying condition it signifies might require medical attention.
