Systolic murmur

Systolic murmur is the sound that occurs when the heart muscle contracts during systole. We usually don't notice this sound because it is a physiological process and does not cause any problems. However, in some cases, a systole murmur may be a sign of cardiac disease, such as aortic or mitral valve stenosis, hypertension, heart infections, or other cardiovascular diseases.

Systolic murmurs can vary in frequency, intensity, and character. They can be acoustic, where high-frequency sounds are heard, and/or pulse wave noises that are heard in the background of the pulse. Aortic systolic duct murmurs may also be observed, causing temporary pauses in the heart rate.

In the absence of pathological changes, the heart muscle contracts evenly, but when noise occurs, systole may occur faster than usual. This can lead to heart palpitations, shortness of breath, chest pain, sleep disturbances, and other symptoms associated with cardiovascular disease.

To diagnose systole murmur, an ECG and ultrasound of the heart are performed. If a person is suspected of having a heart pathology, he is prescribed an additional examination,
