Murmuris

Murmuris is a term derived from the Latin word "murmurare," which means to whisper or murmur. In a medical context, it refers to a low-frequency sound produced by the heart, typically below the range of normal heart sounds. Murmurs can be innocent or benign, such as those caused by blood flow turbulence, or they can be pathological, indicating underlying heart disease. Murmurs are classified based on their timing, pitch, quality, and radiation. They are often detected during a physical examination using a stethoscope and are an important diagnostic tool in cardiology. The presence of a murmur does not always indicate a serious condition, but it is crucial for healthcare providers to evaluate the murmur's characteristics and the patient's overall health to determine the appropriate course of action. Murmurs can be further investigated through echocardiograms, electrocardiograms, or other diagnostic tests to assess the heart's function and identify any potential issues.
