DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS
OF HEART SOUNDS
DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS
OF HEART SOUNDS
In clinical cardiology:
Systole – period of ventricular contraction
Diastole – period of ventricular relaxation
What Is a Heart Murmur?
These are abnormal sounds produced by
turbulent blood flow in the heart caused by:
 Abnormal valve function: stenosis or
regurgitation
 Increased volume or velocity of blood flowing
through a normal valve such as during
pregnancy, severe anemia, athletes
 Flow of blood through communications such as
ASD, VSD

Main signs
 Timing:
systolic, diastolic or systolo-
distolic
 Duration: e.g. pansystolic or late-systolic
 Site of maximum intensity
 Radiation
 Grading
 Character
 Relation with posture
 Relation with respiration
Timing of murmur
 You
need to be differentiated by palpating the
carotid pulse during auscultation
 Systole starts with the first heart sound
(coincides with the carotid pulse) and ends on
second heart sound. Murmurs heard during
this period are called systolic murmurs
 Diastole is the interval between second and
first sound and it does not coincide with the
carotid pulse. Murmurs heard during this
period are called diastolic murmurs
Duration of murmur
б-protosystolic
 в-mid-systolic
 г-late-systolic (telesystolic)
 д-pansystolic
 е- golosystolic
 ж-presystolic
 з-protodiastolic
 и-systolo-diastolic

Area of maximum intensity
 Murmur
may be audible all over the
precordium but the maximum intensity
of murmur is heard where it originates
Radiation
 Murmur
radiate in the direction of blood
flow to the specific sites from the
precordium. Usually the systolic murmur
radiates.
 When the area of maximum intensity has
been noted, the stethoscope should be moved
radically from this point in different
directions to observe whether the murmur is
localized or radiating to other of chest wall.
Grading of systolic murmur
Grade
Grade 1/6
Feature
Grade 3/6
So faint or soft that it is heard only with
special effort
Soft, but can be detected almost
immediately by an experienced
auscultator
Prominent but not loud; no trill
Grade 4/6
Loud; thrill just palpable
Grade 5/6
Very loud; thrill easily palpable
Grade 6/6
Very, very loud
Grade 2/6
Grading of diastolic murmur
Grade
Feature
Grade 1
Very soft (heard only in good
circumstances)
Grade 2
Soft
Grade 3
Moderate
Grade 4
Loud or associated with palpable thrill
Dynamic maneuvers
 Relation
with respiration:
Murmurs of left side become louder during
expiration and murmurs of right side become
louder during inspiration.
 Relation with posture:
Diastolic murmur of mitral stenosis is best
heard in left lateral position while the
diastolic murmur of aortic regurgitation is
best heard when the patient sits and leaning
forward.
Dynamic maneuvers (2)
 Valsalva’s
maneuver
Listen over the left sternal border during
the maneuver for changes in systolic
murmur of hypertrofhic cardiomyopathy
Functional (innocent) murmur
These SM are produced due to change in velocity
or viscosity of blood.
 These SM are present in the absence of heart
abnormalities, disappear on exercise, do not
radiate, thrill is never present and there is no
change in the loudness of murmur with change of
osture or respiration.
Causes are:
 Anemia, polycytemia
 Fever
 Cirrhosis
 Thyrptoxicosis
 Hypertension

Types of Murmurs
Innocent (harmless) murmurs
 A person with an innocent murmur has a normal
heart and usually has no other signs or symptoms of
a heart problem. Innocent murmurs are common in
healthy children.
Abnormal murmurs
 A person with an abnormal murmur usually has
other signs or symptoms of a heart problem. Most
abnormal murmurs in children are due to congenital
heart defects-heart defects present at birth. In adults,
abnormal murmurs are most often due to heart valve
problems caused by infection, disease, or aging.

Innocent Heart Murmurs





Innocent murmurs are heard when blood moves noisily
through a normal heart. Sometimes these murmurs occur
when:
Blood is flowing faster than usual through the heart and blood
vessels attached to the heart.
An increased amount of blood is flowing through the heart.
Illnesses or conditions that can cause blood to flow faster than
usual through the heart include:
Fever
Anemia
Too much thyroid hormone in the body (hyperthyroidism)
Innocent murmurs are sometimes due to changes to the heart
resulting from heart surgery or from aging.
Abnormal Heart Murmurs
The most common cause of abnormal murmurs is
congenital heart defects. Congenital heart defects
occur when the heart, heart valves, or blood vessels
attached to the heart do not develop normally before a
baby is born.
Common defects that cause murmurs include:
 Congenital septal defects, which are holes in the wall
(septum) that separates the right and left sides of the
heart. They account for more than half of abnormal
murmurs in children.
 Congenital valve defects, which include narrow
valves that do not allow enough blood to flow through
them and leaking valves that do not close properly.
Abnormal Heart Murmurs
Infections and other conditions that damage heart valves or other
structures of the heart also may cause murmurs. Theses includes:



Rheumatic fever, a serious illness that can develop after a person has
an untreated or incompletely treated infection caused by the bacteria
that cause strep throat or scarlet fever. Rheumatic fever can lead to
permanent damage to the heart. If your doctor diagnoses strep throat,
be sure your child takes all of the antibiotics prescribed, even if he or
she feels better before the antibiotics run out.
Endocarditis, an inflammation of the inner lining of the heart and
valves that is usually caused by a bacterial infection. Endocarditis is a
serious disease that can lead to permanent heart damage and other
complications. Endocarditis usually occurs in an abnormal heart.
Calcification (hardening and thickening) of valves as a result of aging.
The hardened and thickened heart valves do not work as they should.
PHYSIOLOGIC CLASSIFICATION OF
SYSTOLIC MURMURS
A. Systolic ejection murmurs-forward flow across the left or right
ventricular outflow tract.
B. Systolic regurgitate murmurs—regurgitates flow from a highpressure chamber to a lower-pressure chamber
1. Pansystolic regurgitant murmurs (mitral and tricuspid
regurgitation, ventricular septal defect, left ventricle to right
atrial defect)
2. Early systolic regurgitant murmur (acute mitral regurgitation,
tricuspid regurgitation secondary to isolated disease of the valve,
small ventricular septal defect)
3. Mid and late systolic regurgitant murmurs (papillary muscle
dysfunction, mitral and tricuspid valve prolapse)
PHYSIOLOGIC CLASSIFICATION OF
DIASTOLIC MURMURS
A. Diastolic filling murmurs (rumbles)- forward flow across
the atrio-ventricular valves.
1.
2.
Forward flow across a stenosed or obstructed
atrioventricular valve (mitral or tricuspid stenosis, left or
right atrial myxoma)
High flow across a normal atrioventricular valve (mitral
flow rumble of a ventricular septal defect or patent ductus
arteriosus, tricuspid flow rumble of an atrial septal defect,
hyperkinetic states, complete heart block)
PHYSIOLOGIC CLASSIFICATION OF
DIASTOLIC MURMURS
3. High flow across an incompetent atrio-ventricular valve
without significant stenosis (flow rumble of mitral and
tricuspid regurgitation)
4. Forward flow across a partially closed atrioventricular
valve (presystolic murmur of mitral stenosis, Austin Flint
murmur secondary to severe aortic or pulmonary
regurgitation)
5. Combinations of 1 through 4
PHYSIOLOGIC CLASSIFICATION OF
DIASTOLIC MURMURS
B. Diastolic regurgitant murmurs—regurgitant flow
across an incompetent semilunar valve:
1. Pandiastolic regurgitant murmurs (aortic regurgitation
and pulmonic regurgitation secondary to pulmonary
hypertension)
2. Abbreviated diastolic regurgitant murmurs (acute
aortic regurgitation, minimal aortic regurgitation)
3. Delayed diastolic regurgitant murmur (organic
pulmonic regurgitation)
PHYSIOLOGIC CLASSIFICATIONS
OF CONTINUOUS MURMURS
A. Continuous murmurs caused by rapid blood flow
1. Venous hum
2. Mammary souffle
3. Hemiangioma
4. Hyperthyroidism
5. Acute alcoholic hepatitis
6. Hyperemia of neoplasm (hepatoma renal cell
carcinoma, Paget's disease)
PHYSIOLOGIC CLASSIFICATIONS
OF CONTINUOUS MURMURS
B. Continuous murmurs caused by high-to-low
pressure shunts:
1.Systemic artery to pulmonary artery (patent ductus arteriosus,
aortopulmonary window, truncus arteriosus, pulmonary atresia,
anomalous left coronary, bronchiectasis, sequestration of the lung)
2. Systemic artery to right heart (ruptured sinus of Valsalva,
coronary artery fistula) Left-to-right atrial shunting (Lutembacher's
syndrome, mitral atresia plus atrial septal defect).
3. Venovenous shunts (anomalous pulmonary veins, portosystemic
shunts)|
4. Arteriovenous fistula (systemic or pulmonic)
What Are the Signs and Symptoms of
Heart Murmurs?
Most people with heart murmurs do not have any other signs and symptoms of a
heart problem. The murmur is usually innocent (harmless).
Some people with heart murmurs do have signs and symptoms of a heart
problem. The signs and symptoms may include:
 Blue coloring of the skin, especially on the fingertips and inside the mouth
 Poor eating and failure to grow normally (in infants)
 Fast breathing
 Excessive sweating
 Chest pain
 Dizziness
 Shortness of breath
 Fainting
 Fatigue (feeling very tired)
 The signs and symptoms depend on the cause and the severity of the problem
causing the murmur.
How Are Heart Murmurs Diagnosed?

Doctors use a stethoscope to listen to heart sounds and hear
murmurs. They often notice innocent heart murmurs during
routine checkups or physical exams.
Physical Exam
 Doctors listen carefully to the heart with a stethoscope to help
decide if a murmur is innocent or abnormal. They listen to the
loudness, location, and timing of the murmur to classify and
describe the sound. This helps the doctor begin to diagnose the
cause of the murmur.
How Are Heart Murmurs Diagnosed?
The doctor also:
 Takes a medical and family history
 Does a complete physical exam, looking for signs of
illness or physical problems (such as blue coloring of
the skin, delayed growth, and feeding problems in an
infant)
 Asks about symptoms, such as chest pain, shortness of
breath (especially with exercise), dizziness, or fainting
Tests
Chest x-ray. A chest x
ray takes a picture of
your heart and lungs. It
can show if the heart is
enlarged, and it can
show some problems
of the heart and lungs.
(С/Т)х100 (normal <
50%)
Tests
ECG.
 This test is used to measure the rate and regularity of
your heartbeat. The EKG can help rule out a variety of
heart problems.
Will most likely do the followup testing. These tests
might include:
 An echocardigram, a test that uses ultrasound (sound
waves) to allow doctors to view your heart as it pumps
and relaxes.
 The echocardiogram is more detailed than an x-ray
image and shows the structure and function of the heart.
In some cases, transesophageal echocardiography (TEE)
might be needed to get a better view of the heart. In
TEE, the doctor inserts an ultrasound probe down the
throat into the esophagus after the patient is sedated.
Tests
Cardiac catheterization and angiography.
 Cardiac catheterization is a procedure in
which a thin, flexible tube (catheter) is passed
through an artery or vein in your upper thigh
(groin) or in your arm to reach the heart, after
you are sedated. This allows measurement of
pressure inside the heart and blood vessels.
 Angiography involves injecting a dye that can
be seen by using x ray. This helps the doctor
see the flow of blood through the heart and
blood vessels.
Mitral Regurgitation (MR)
Chronic MR
 Rheumatic heart disease (50%)
 Mitral valve prolapse
 Disease that cause dilatation of left ventricle cavity cause
dilatation of valve annulus and mild MR (called functional
MR), such disease are:
 Aortic valve disease
 Acute rheumatic fever
 Myocarditis
 Dilated cardiomyopathy
 Ischemic heart disease
Acute MR
 Myocardial infarction (due rupture of chordae tendineae)
 Infective endocarditis
