Was diagnosed with heart murmur 2 months ago.They requested an ecg and echocardiogram,thanks to God everything is normal..hope this comment brightens someone's day.. Always pray everything will be alright.

I was born wit a heart murmur and I still have till this day I’m turning 18 In a few I am blessed to be alive thank god for keeping me on this earth for this long it’s hard to be happy when you can’t be active and do what you love most especially in time like this my anxiety is crazy and I wish I was healthier for these times

I've had a murmur for most of my 70 years and it hasn't bothered me yet in any way (AMEN) but am told now that I need to get a valve or two repaired/replaced, so am watching these vids to find out more before the operation. Thanks for posting!

Nice to have it explained in layman's terms. Love the garden hose analogy since gardening is my passion.

What a terrific explanation! Thank you, Dr. Edgerton and the AHA.

This doctor does an excellent job in explaining terms but the visuals also help!!!

if you taught my anatomy class everyone would pass with flying colors

I have a murmur and I’m blessed I’m still here thank you God

Such a clear and simple explanation and Dr. James Edgerton absolutely oozes confidence in his ability.

I am living with mitral regurgitation for five years and my condition is now at severe stage and my murmur was first detected when I was 14 after having a bad chest pain and i was referred to a cardiologist and I am now 19 years old and will soon have an operation for the treatment and turning 20 soon. I had so many tests in 2017 and 2018 to decide on my treatment and my last test was MRI.

Today I learned the difference between valvular stenosis and valvular insufficiency/regurgitation. Thank you Dr. James Edgerton.

I had this when I was a baby my mother said I almost died twice! I'm 13 now I still thank God for saving my life Edit: woah guys I’m 16 now, I didn’t even know people replied to my comment 🥺

This was so helpful! I appreciated that it wasn't complicated and busy. It was straight to the point and very understandable. Thank you for helping me study, and get a clear, well-rounded grasp of heart murmurs!

Omg... I'm in my last semester of FNP and never have I ever finally understood something so clearly! Thank you so much! I am a gardner so the water hose example alone was super helpful... then the parachute, tunnel, and cords was brilliant! Lord knows I need this!

I am in nursing school and this helped so much thank you

One day I went to the doctors to get my physical bc I love basketball and the doctor checked my heart and said I have a heart murmur today I went to the cardiologist my heart didn’t sound very good just praying it will be fine and go away honestly I just wanna get back on the court and grind but praying🙏🙏I’m 15 btw

Wow your explanation is so good. I wish you were my professor!

I have a heart murmur but the good thing is that my doctor said that I am good thank god🙏prayers for all of you that have this.don’t worry god is with you

I always thought I had aortic stenosis per my childhood cardiologist, when people ask me about my heart murmur because it was so prominent. During my 3rd pregnancy with a echo of my heart (which I also had with my previous pregnancy) I found out I have a bicuspid aortic valve and coarctation of the aorta (it’s in the shape of an S). I am 29 years old and this was the first time hearing this.

If you had been my pathophysiology teacher I wouldn't have to be here on KZfaq now searching for this information.

This was nice and succinct. Thank you. I would like to know what are the typical causes or aortic stenosis and mitral regurgitation? What investigation procedures are done to find out the causes of each problem?

Beautifully explained. Thank you Dr. Edgerton!

I love this! I'm a nursing student and your videos help me so much!

My 6month baby has a grade 4 murmur and tomorrow we find out when surgery is. Its been so hard with her being sick but threw all the life flights in and out of the hispital she is strong and with this surgery coming soon she will be a healthy baby again. Wish her luck .......emery guerrero

I had pneumonia and tachycardia 158bpm, in Feb, they treated both and the tachycardia with cardioversion once, and put me on Eliquis, metoprolol and amiodarone and it's been stable since around 55-60 bpm. The echocardio grams shows a mitral valve prolapse, which the report says Myxomatous degeneration mild anterior and posterior leaflet prolapse, moderate regurgitation grade 3+, left atrium severely dilated, tricuspid valve mild to moderate regurgitation grade 2+ PASP normal. I decided to inquire about valve repair, so the hospital cardiology referred me to a cardiologist surgeon in their bigger facility in another city, I go Aug 10th for a consultation. At 60, I'm thinking it's better to get this dealt with and fixed sooner than later since it can only get worse over time, and I have good insurance at work that may not be available to me in 5 years, also my deductable resets Jan 1st so whatever I can have done this year is better. I'm curious how this works with the surgery, I go for a consultation and I assume another echocardiogram then, and then do they just schedule surgery to do the repair or am I going to have to go multiple times for tests, scans and whatever? I'm wondering how long I would be in the ICU and hospital after, and then after going home how long I might be "laid up" unable to return to work?

I like his way of explaining the mitral valve

Thank you so much for your detailed breakdown 👏👏👏

Great analogy of the Mitral Valve regurgitation. I most likely wouldn't be here had I not the surgery done last year by my Super Cardiologist. If I knew then what I found out during all the tests and procedures as Heart Catheter(100% good results), eks, in depth x-rays at the hospital and surgeons office, if I only knew that a heart murmur worsens over time from wear and tear throughout history of cardiovascular activities beyond my maximum, I would have stepped back and take more water breaks. I was born with a heart murmur. Sharp pains worsened over time. O thought nothing of it as I'd never seen a doctor for it as a newborn, school age, did not know it was associated with this condition called Murmur, Enlarged heart. My parents didn't know. Had I listened to my doctors in my latter years for advice far sooner, I'd probably be a few steps further from mitral valve replacement. It makes me cry, yet filled with joy that I didn't have an extreme heart attack that result in death. Drs mentioned that it was resolved just in time as any active movement could mean heart attack. Heart murmurs no joke, sudden death can occur at anytime is why it's important to visit a cardiologist for monitoring, the heart is a muscle and we're not getting any younger so cardiologists are here for a reason, don't wait until are aged. Exercise and good nutrition still stands tall in my life after open heart surgery. My Thoracic Surgery show much of The Father's Love and Care before and after the surgery, The Father work thru his hands. I thank Heaven for sending the doctors to my rescue at AdventHospital. I like the way the video guy explains the regurgitation part. My heart would stop, and restart, I had ongoing fast paced heartbeats, irregular, that even at rest, I felt like I ran a few miles and out of breath. I was asked by the Anesthesiologist if I approved of rbc transfusion. I said no, this came as I was hooked up to every machine as IVs ekgs etc. I said no, no transfusion. I couldn't think right away to say I prefer to donate to myself now, after many years of rbc and plasma donations for others, I preferred my own for transfusion. Can't go wrong with my own type. However, that's what the donations are there for. And it's a beautiful feeling to give. Thank Yah for my family. I went through the surgery with the humble successful hands of the Surgeon and Team by the Grace and Glory of (Yah)weh. Now I'm free. Hallelu(Yah)

Just found out last year I had a heart 💓 murmer never knew or had any kind of symptoms, God is good

Can someone tell me why something weird always happens it used to happen only once in awhile but now it happens one to two times a day it feels like my heart stops for like a second and it freeks me out it's such a werid feeling I hate it it will just happened out of no where (I'm 12)

Thank you for your clear explanation, it really helps a lot 👍😊

Great video! My son was born with a congenital heart disease called d-tga!

Got it, so where does the blood go, if the mitral valve is damaged? Would it go back to the Left Ventricle or Aortic? It’s a tough one.

My doctor referred me to the cardiologist I had seen over 3yrs ago who told me heart murmur and recommended nothing for it. My doctor states she thinks she hears it a little louder and scheduled another appointment with cardiologist again as she suggested I take daily baby aspirin. I told her I didn't want to take anything and that I have had this murmur diagnosed when I was a teen and am still alive(turning 70yrs in 5 mos.) I am eating and drinking nutribullet juice with the pulp (per her request) and organic veggies and fruits as I eat some fish every 3 weeks or so, use virg olive oil, some coconut oil; all for over 4yrs. Any suggestions, please? She also sent me for appt to scan left breast which had been done over 3yrs ago; per most reputable cancer spec, she saw nothing there. This is stressful, planning to go keep appts. praying for no bad results.

How much difference would it make in my life if I had my murmur fixed? I have 2 holes in my heart from when i was born but over the years I'm running out of breath easily and getting chest pain but my doctor hasn't said anything. If I got it fixed would I have more energy?

thanks you i just clicked in and see this knowledgeable this terrific programming and clearly explanations thanks again for showing

Came from Pop Smokes sneaker shopping and he mentioned he stopped playing basketball because he had a heart murmur. R.I.P Pop

Very well explained sir. Thank you so much 😊

Wonderfully explained! Thanks for posting!

I just got diagnosed with a murmur out of nowhere and echo is in the works I really hope it comes back normal very worried 😢

I was diagnosed with a murmur and my cardio said I was fine but I have a lot of pain when my heart gets out of rhythm to any else that has one does that happen to you?

Clear descriptions, thank you very much.

I had a this when i was a baby and now i'm 21 years old and thanks to jesus to saving my life

I had 2 heart murmurs in one day, at the age of 10. The first time I went to the ER asap and it was only a small one. About an hour later after getting home from the ER, I had another one, and was yet again rushed to the ER by my mom. Only this time, it was much bigger. I was in the hospital for a day that time. I was only 10 at this time. Here I am 2 year later know there are some holes in my heart, know it can happen again. I am very thankful that I survived this disaster.

I am sorry for all of you

Does this Dr. Edgeton have other videos b/c he does a PHENOMENAL job explaining so far in a short period of time

Well explained in plain words.

I have a heart murmur and only discovered I did when I was at MEPS enlisting for the army I’m going back to get it checked but they said most the time it is nothing I have been a mostly healthy person all my life so I can’t see myself having any significant problems but we will see

was Playin basketball and almost died. i could not breathe and i was so dizzy. Thank god im still alive.

i have murmer congentinal, i had surgery at 6 and then at 31, i didnt put the metal valve. so its still leaking but not as heavy, so now after 4 yrs , its leaking a bit more. so do i need metal valve? do i must do TE checkup in order to decide better?

My 2 d echo result is "thickened anterior mitral valve with no restriction in motion " is it dangerous ?

Very, Very well explained.

I’ve had one since I was a baby and I’m 17 now and it hasn’t gone away?

I have had a slight Heart Murmur since birth, I'm 17 and, it hasn't been causing me any significant discomfort or shortness of breath, and my doctor says it's growing out of it overtime...

Which of these makes the heart more prone to heart attacks when left untreated? Stenosis or regurgitation?

Listen to the sounds at playback speed 0.25 Very clear

if it feels like someones squishing my heart with a fist made of tinfoil. am i dying?

Is a mitral murmur something a GP or emergency physician can hear? Can it be missed?

Great video

Amazing explanation! 👌

Sometimes I feel my heart swell up and feel like it pushes out of my chest and then goes normal. Almost like flexing a muscle. What is the meaning behind this?

Hi. my name is Tina. I was born with only 2 Aortic Valve & I have a Heart Murmur. My heart Dr. said, he just needs to keep a eye on it, but every time I go see him (my heart beats fast & my oxygen drops).It happens when I walk anywhere; clean my house; & it's really bad when I go up stairs. I just want to know what you think.he has me on Verapamil 360 mg. Thank You!

This video helped me because i was born with a heart murmur

My doctor diagnosed me with this, and he said you don't need to do anything its not problem!

Is there a way to get rid of it?

I am trying to understand the specific reason behind WHY WE WORKUP A ASYMPTOMATIC DIASTOLIC MURMUR AND NOT ASYMPTOMATIC SYSTOLIC MURMUR. Would appreciate any suggestions or clarifications.

Excellent thank you ❤

i had this for quite a while when i was younger i grew out of it im very thankful cause if i had it longer i could have died

Could heart murmur cause pulmonary hypertension?

Nice explanation

enaku age 25 ..heart. valve 1 surungi eruku nu doctor sonnaga ..adhuku enna pannalam? pls tamil la sollunga

I was born with a heart murmur, I didn't start getting chest pains until the age of 8 and I just remember being in so much pain and I could barley breath because if I even tried to take breath I would feel a very sharp pain in my heart, it felt as if someone was stabbing a knife into my heart or as if I was having a heart attack. Does this typically happen if you have a heart murmur? I still get chest pain to this day, sometimes I go years without feeling the chest pain but then there are also weeks where I feel the sharp pain multiple times a day, is there any way to prevent these chest pains from occurring or anything that can cause them to happen more frequently?

I have a abnormal heart murmur and I had since I was born and I'm 16

Had a murmur for years 2 leaking valve mild

Will hopefully go to the dr soon, however all of the sudden my heart will start pounding super fast and I find myself breathing heavy. Does it several times a day. I am anemic bu idk if that means anything

am fity one an i went to my doctor for check up i have diabetis high blood presure an my heart was racinng so fast

To me my murmur is like 2 beats for the heart to fill up and 2 beats for it to push blood out

I had aortic valve replacement almost 1 year ago oparetion. Now I have pre menopause. I have also pulsatile tinnitus. Hearing your heart beats in the night annoying.
