Heart murmur
A noise heard between beats of the heart. Innocent, functional heart murmurs are common and often heard in infants and toddlers. If your doctor has a question about a heart murmur, she may refer your child to a specialist in pediatric heart issues, a pediatric cardiologist.
This is Children's Glossary of Medical Terms - and much more. You'll find the basic definitions and, for many medical subjects, a larger medical context written by an experienced Children's pediatrician. All the definitions are in an easy-to-print format.
