What causes heart murmurs?

Usually, doctors will call the sound heard with a stethoscope as heart murmurs.They are noises the blood makes as it rushes through the parts of the heart. in some cases, murmurs shows the malfunctioning valves. If a valve does not close properly, it allows some of the blood to leak becomes audible through a stethoscope. Additionally, heart mumurs that are due to disease would occur due to the changes in the mitual valve, a valve that is positioned between the left upper and lower chamber. Babies born with a malfunctioning valve, may have rheumatic fever but these abnormalities can be corrected by surgery.
