R01.0: Benign and innocent cardiac murmurs
A harmless murmur has been heard from your heart.
In this way, the heart beats and pumps blood through our body. The beating of the heart can be heard. To do this, we listen at certain sites in the chest. If any additional noise is heard in the heart, it is known as a heart murmur.
A harmless heart murmur can occur when someone has fever, for example. Harmless heart murmurs can also be heard in children.
