heart murmur any sound in the heart region other than normal heart sounds; common causes include movement of blood through narrowed or stenotic heart valves and blood leaking through a valve that does not close properly. In many cases a murmur may be of the innocent or functional type, with no heart disease at all, so that it causes no trouble; this type is only sporadically present and in time may go away completely.
