Other heart murmurs, known as pathologic, are caused by heart disease or structural issues. Sometimes, it can even be a secondary symptom of a non-cardiac concern. FamVeld/Shutterstock
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 ...
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. For example, heart murmurs may have a distinct pitch, duration and timing.

Abnormal murmurs can be caused by stenosis restricting the opening of a heart valve, resulting in turbulence as blood flows through it. Abnormal murmurs may also occur with valvular insufficiency ( regurgitation ), which allows backflow of blood when the incompetent valve closes with only partial effectiveness.
Auscultogram from normal and abnormal heart sounds. Heart murmurs are most frequently organized by timing, into systolic heart murmurs and diastolic heart murmurs. However, continuous murmurs can not be directly placed into either category. [1] These murmurs are due to blood flow from a high pressure chamber or vessel to a lower pressure system.
A dog’s heart rate variability adapted to match their parent’s during an interaction. When the human’s variability was high, the dog’s would be too. And, when they had low variability ...
A gallop rhythm refers to a (usually abnormal) rhythm of the heart on auscultation. [1] It includes three or four sounds, thus resembling the sounds of a gallop.. The normal heart rhythm contains two audible heart sounds called S 1 and S 2 that give the well-known "lub-dub" rhythm; they are caused by the closing of valves in the heart.
