A heart murmur is an abnormal sound -- such as a whooshing or swishing -- that is caused by blood moving in or around your heart during your heartbeat cycle. Heart murmurs can be congenital, meaning that they are present at birth, or they can develop later in life.

Some abnormal heart murmurs are caused by congenital conditions, but other abnormal heart murmurs can develop later in life. No matter when it develops, an abnormal heart murmur requires follow-up testing and can sometimes indicate underlying heart problems, including:
A heart murmur is usually detected when your doctor listens to your heartbeat with a stethoscope. Other than what your doctor can hear, which is usually a whooshing or swishing sound, heart murmurs typically don't cause obvious symptoms.
You are more likely to develop a heart murmur if you have a family history of heart defects or certain medical conditions, including high blood pressure, endocarditis, rheumatoid arthritis, a previous or current case of rheumatic fever, or high blood pressure in the lungs (pulmonary hypertension).
