Levine scale. In cardiac physiology, the Levine grading scale is a numeric scoring system to characterize the intensity or the loudness of a heart murmur. The eponym is from researcher Samuel A. Levine who studied the significance of systolic heart murmurs. [1] The grading gives a number to the intensity from 1 to 6: [2][3] The palpable murmur ...
Heart murmur. Heart murmurs are unique heart sounds produced when blood flows across a heart valve or blood vessel. [1] This occurs when turbulent blood flow creates a sound loud enough to hear with a stethoscope. [2] The sound differs from normal heart sounds by their characteristics.
Still's murmur. Still 's murmur (also known as vibratory murmur) is a common type of benign or "innocent" functional heart murmur that is not associated with any sort of cardiac disorder or any other medical condition. [1] It can occur at any age although it is most common among children two to seven years of age and it is rare in adulthood.

Systolic heart murmur. Auscultogram from normal and abnormal heart sounds. Systolic heart murmurs are heart murmurs heard during systole, [1][2][3] i.e. they begin and end between S1 and S2. Many involve stenosis of the semilunar valves or regurgitation of the atrioventricular valves.
Canine subvalvular aortic stenosis (SAS) is an abnormal, congenital heart murmur caused by subaortic stenosis (SAS). This genetic trait is polygenic, and in some cases asymptomatic. An animal with SAS may offspring and show no symptoms of the stenosis until multiple generations which is why it is advised not to breed an animal diagnosed with SAS.
October 10, 2024 at 3:11 PM. A kitten with a heart murmur needed a home — then came an adoption that was “meant to be.”. “Our hearts melted when Curie’s adopter told us why this kitten ...
A functional murmur (innocent murmur, physiologic murmur) is a heart murmur that is primarily due to physiologic conditions outside the heart, as opposed to structural defects in the heart itself. [1] Serious conditions can arise even in the absence of a primary heart defect, and it is possible for peripheral conditions to generate ...
