|
| Musical Murmur |
Having a musical quality |
|
| Pansystolic Murmur |
Occupies entire interval of systole. |
|
| Regurgitant Murmur |
Caused by leakage of an incompetent heart valve. |
|
| Hemic Murmur
Flow Murmur |
Murmur heard, but no valvular lesions. Due to blood turbulence. |
Anemia |
| Austin Flint Murmur |
Presystolic murmur similar to mitral stenosis, heard at cardiac apex.
Caused by regurgitation from Aorta partially narrowing the mitral
valve. |
Aortic Insufficiency |
| Diamond-Shaped Murmur |
Crescendo-Decrescendo murmur |
Aortic Stenosis
Pulmonic Stenosis |
| Early Diastolic Murmur |
Begins right after the second heart sound. |
Aortic Insufficiency |
| Ejection Murmur |
Diamond-shaped systolic murmur ending before the second heart sound,
produced by the ejection of blood into the Aorta or Pulmonary Arteries |
Aortic Stenosis
Pulmonic Stenosis |
| Cardiopulmonary Murmur |
Related to movement of the heart, and disappearing when the breath is
held. |
Innocent |
| Still's Murmur |
Innocent musical murmur resembling a twanging string |
Innocent |
| Late Systolic Murmur |
Diamond-shaped murmur late in systole. Often accompanied by mid or
late systolic click. |
Mitral Valve Prolapse (MVP) |
| Middiastolic Murmur |
Begins after the AV valves have opened in diastole. |
Mitral Stenosis |
| Presystolic Murmur |
Occurs during late diastole, caused by contraction of the atria. |
Mitral Stenosis
Narrowing of the AV valves |
| Machinery Murmur |
Continuous rumbling murmur, heard throughout systole and diastole. |
Patent Ductus Arteriosus |
| Extracardiac Murmur |
Heard over precordium, but originating from structures other than the
heart |
Pericardial Friction Rubs |
| Graham Steele's Murmur |
Early diastolic murmur heard over Erb's Point. |
Pulmonic Insufficiency, secondary to Pulmonary Hypertension and Mitral
Stenosis. |
| Roger's Murmur |
Loud pansystolic murmur maximal at the left sternal border. |
Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) |
