What Causes a Heart Murmur in Children?

The noise caused by a heart murmur is due to turbulent or abnormal blood flow in the heart. This may involve the chambers of the heart or valves, and can result from a medical condition present at birth (such as a ventricular septal defect) or from later health conditions like high blood pressure.
An innocent heart murmur (also called a normal or physiological heart murmur) can be caused by blood flowing faster than usual, and is common during:
Childhood, Growth spurts, Exercise, Pregnancy.
 

Symptoms of heart murmurs that may be a cause for concern include:

Blue or gray nails or lips, Chest pain, Persistent cough, Dizziness, Swollen liver, Shortness of breath, Sudden weight gain or swelling, Swollen neck veins, Fainting, Heavy sweating with little or no activity, Poor appetite and lack of growth in babies.

If you are worried about a heart murmur, it is important to see a doctor. Most heart murmurs are not serious, but in some cases they may indicate underlying health problems or medical conditions. Our doctors will check how well oxygen-rich blood flows through the circulatory system, ensuring your child’s heart pumps effectively and safely.
