Best Doctors for Heart Murmurs Cardiac Murmur Treatment in Kurnool

Cardiac murmurs or heart murmurs are described as whooshing sounds or swishing sounds heard through the stethoscope. When the flow of blood over the heart valves is abnormal, heart murmurs are heard. Cardiac murmurs are divided into various types, such as diastolic, systolic and continuous, based on their timing. In some cases, heart murmurs are innocent and disappear without showing any problem. The factors responsible for causing heart murmurs sometimes include an underlying medical condition such as anemia, carcinoid syndrome, endocarditis, congenital heart defect, heart valve disease, hyperthyroidism and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The symptoms of these heart murmurs include pain or tightness in the chest, heart palpitations, bluish skin, cough that doesn't go away, syncope or weakness and shortness of breath. Medications are advised to treat the causative factor and underlying serious conditions of these cardiac murmurs and surgical procedures are performed to replace or correct a valve.
