Heart murmurs are sounds made by turbulent blood flow within the heart, often detected during a routine physical exam. While not always indicative of heart valve disease, they can be a significant clue. Murmurs can result from valves that are narrowed (stenosis) or leaking (regurgitation), affecting the heart's ability to circulate blood efficiently. A primary care physician might first detect these murmurs, prompting further cardiological assessment. Understanding the potential implications of a heart murmur can lead to early intervention, preventing the progression of heart valve disease and preserving heart function.
