What kind of heart murmur do I have? Link to audio file provided. Is there a cardiologist in the house?
I am interested in and have made recording my heartbeat a hobby. At age18 I was diagnosed with an "innocent" murmur. An EKG and an echo found "nothing to worry about". It took two doctors listening intently with their stethoscopes to detect the murmor. I'm now 25 and visited a different doctor for a checkup recently. He detected the murmor immediately. Am I worried about nothing or should I ask to see a cardiologist? I am curious if a doctor or cardiologist can tell from this mp3 recording what kind of murmur I might have. This recording was made with a homemade stethoscope/microphone and was recorded at the "tricuspid" valve area. Here is a link to the mp3 file: http://mercenary1932.fileave.com/Tricuspidvalvearea30sec.mp3 I think it's a pretty good recording, but you may have to turn up your computer's volume to hear it. Thanks!
I'm impressed at the quality of your recording given that you used a "homemade" stethoscope/microphone! I would differ with eman somewhat in that your murmur is more of an early to midsystolic murmur. I would add that it is crescendo-decrescendo in nature and that there appears to be a gap between the first heart sound (S1) and the onset of the murmur. It also sounds like S2 splits physiologically with respiration, but that is difficult to tell without physically examining you.
I disagree with eman that the murmur sounds like a mitral regurgitant or tricuspid regurgitant murmur. These murmurs, unless they are acute or associated with a noncompliant ventricle, fill in the entire space between S1 and S2. Neither does it sound like a VSD (although it sounds like you were listening in the right area for one) because those murmurs typically start at the same time as S1.
Your murmur sounds to me like an outflow murmur which can be due to turbulent flow across the aortic or pulmonic valve or simply due to high volume. A bicuspid aortic valve is one possibility, although you can usually see that on echo. It can also be an innocent murmur. In general, echocardiograms are quite good at picking up causes for abnormal systolic murmurs, so if you have had no symptoms and a normal echocardiogram at age 18, it's probably not anything bad. On the other hand, it is never wrong to ask for a second opinion. All we have to go on here is a single recording of your heart sounds from one location. It requires a full history, physical and appropriate testing to be able to confidently tell you that you have nothing to worry about.
Hope that helps! Good luck!

JoePro - "Gunpowder Passion" - Stethoscope
Is this cool...or am i just weird?
Last week i went to radio shack with my friend, and while we were there, i saw this digital olympus audio recorder for like $35, so i bought it.
About an hour ago, i was messing around with it, and i had an idea. I had just eaten dinner (Steak and mashed), so i thought it would be kind of cool to see if it would pick up my stomach making noises. I pressed the thing against my belly, and when i played the thing back, i could hear all of the food getting sloshed around...like even better than you could with a stethoscope.
So anyway, i have been sitting here mezmorized by doing this, and i think it's kinda cool.
anyone else ever do this?
never done it but it sounds rather interesting.
you could totally play that in someone's ear when they are sleeping.
