Abnormal heart sounds detected during auscultation requiring cardiac evaluation
Specialist in heart diseases and cardiac murmur diagnosis
A heart murmur is an extra or unusual sound heard during a heartbeat. It sounds like a whooshing or swishing noise and is detected during a physical exam with a stethoscope.
No. Many heart murmurs are harmless and require no treatment. However, some may indicate an underlying heart condition that needs monitoring or treatment by a cardiologist.
Murmurs can be caused by abnormal blood flow through the heart, valve problems, structural defects, or increased heart rate due to fever, anemia, or pregnancy.
