Best Doctors for Heart Murmurs Cardiac Murmur Treatment in Kurnool

The heartbeat in a normal healthy person has two sounds (lub-dub) that are produced when the valves of the heart are closing. These heart sounds can be heard through a stethoscope. Heart murmurs or cardiac murmurs are swishing or whooshing heart sounds that are produced when the blood flow through the heart is turbulent. The heart murmurs are of various types. Murmurs can either be present at birth (congenital), or may develop later in life (acquired). A few heart murmurs are harmless, and they don't need any treatment. However, there are a few heart murmurs which, when present, may indicate the presence of an underlying serious heart condition. Some of the symptoms that may be associated with harmful heart murmurs include, chest pain, blue or grayish lips or fingernails that were not previously present, a non-resolving cough, shortness of breath, swollen neck veins, dizziness, fainting, and heavy sweating on little or no activity. The treatment of heart murmurs depends on their cause. Talk to a doctor if you think you have symptoms of a heart murmur.
