A heart murmur is the sound of turbulent blood flow in the heart usually caused by abnormal closure or opening of a heart valve or a hole in the heart.
There are 4 valves in the heart, with each having its own potential defect. In a general sense, murmurs can be caused by valvular stiffening i.e. stenosis or leaking i.e. regurgitation. Congenital anomalies such as holes in the heart or abnormal heart architecture can cause murmurs. Certain viral or bacterial infections can lead to damage to the heart and cause murmurs.
