When you listen to the heartbeat, the “lub-dub” sound is the closing of the valves that let the blood into and out of the heart's pumping chambers. A heart murmur is an extra sound in addition to the two valve closure sounds and is caused by turbulent (faster) blood flow. In most cases, the turbulent blood flow is normal, meaning the heart murmur is “innocent” and won't require any intervention. Heart murmurs are quite common, and can occur in 1 out of 4 children during their growing years. However, some abnormal blood flow sounds suggest a structural problem or heart defect, which would require further evaluation by a cardiologist. Dr. Preeti Singh can evaluate many characteristics of the heart murmur to determine whether it is normal or abnormal, and whether or not additional evaluation by a pediatric cardiologist is required. If your child is referred to a specialist, common screening tests include an electrocardiogram to look at the heart rhythm and see if there are any abnormal electrical patterns, and in some cases an echocardiogram, which is a targeted ultrasound of the heart to look for structural abnormalities.
