| atriosystolic murmur | A murmur heard at the end of ventricular diastole (during atrial systole if in sinus rhythm), usually due to obstruction at one of the atrioventricular orifices. Synonym: atriosystolic murmur, late diastolic murmur. (05 Mar 2000) |

| Cabot-Locke murmur | <cardiology, clinical sign> An early diastolic murmur, like that of aortic insufficiency, heard best at the left lower sternal border in severe anaemia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cardiac murmur | A murmur produced within the heart, at one of its valvular orifices or across ventricular septal defects. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cardiopulmonary murmur | <cardiology, clinical sign> An innocent extracardiac murmur, synchronous with the heart's beat but disappearing when the breath is held, believed due to movement of air in a segment of lung compressed by the contracting heart. Synonym: cardiorespiratory murmur. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cardiorespiratory murmur | <cardiology, clinical sign> An innocent extracardiac murmur, synchronous with the heart's beat but disappearing when the breath is held, believed due to movement of air in a segment of lung compressed by the contracting heart. Synonym: cardiorespiratory murmur. (05 Mar 2000) |
