SYSTOLIC HEART MURMURS Prof Dr A Samuel Dinesh MD Professor of Medicine Institute of Internal Medicine RGGGH & MMC
HEART MURMURS Heart murmurs are produced by turbulent flow of blood across an abnormal valve, septal defect or outflow obstruction or by increased velocity of flow through a normal valve. Murmurs are described based on the following characters: Timing , Grade , Quality , Pitch , Configuration , Radiation/conduction , Best heard with diaphragm or bell , patient position , With breath held in inspiration or expiration , variation with other maneuvers and location of maximum intensity. Based on the timing of the murmur during cardic cycle, the murmurs can be classified as : Systolic murmurs. Diastolic murmurs.
SYSTOLIC MURMURS Systolic heart murmurs can be: Early systolic murmurs. Mid systolic/ Ejection systolic murmurs. Late systolic murmurs. Pansystolic murmurs.
MID SYSTOLIC MURMURS : The murmur begins in early systole following a murmur-free interval and ends in late systole followed by a murmur free interval before S2.
