Causes (Click on Notes)
congenital heart defects
Anotações:
Congenital heart defects can involve the interior walls of the heart,
the valves inside the heart, or the arteries and veins that carry blood
to and from the heart. Some babies are born with more than one heart
defect.
Heart valve problems, septal defects (also called holes in the heart),
and diseases of the heart muscle such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
are common heart defects that cause abnormal heart murmurs. A hole in the septum between the heart's two upper chambers is called
an atrial septal defect. A hole in the septum between the heart's two
lower chambers is called a ventricular septal defect.
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
(HCM) occurs if heart muscle cells enlarge and cause the walls of the
ventricles (usually the left ventricle) to thicken. The thickening may
block blood flow out of the ventricle. If a blockage occurs, the
ventricle must work hard to pump blood to the body. HCM also can affect
the heart’s mitral valve, causing blood to leak backward through the
valve.
acquired heart valve disease
Anotações:
Acquired heart valve disease often is the cause of abnormal heart
murmurs in adults. This is heart valve disease that develops as the
result of another condition.
Many conditions can cause heart valve disease. Examples include heart
conditions and other disorders, age-related changes, rheumatic fever, and infections
