| 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) |

| Austin Flint murmur | Synonym: Austin Flint phenomenon, Flint's murmur. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bellows murmur | A blowing 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) |
| Carey Coombs murmur | A blubbering apical middiastolic murmur occurring in the acute stage of rheumatic mitral valvulitis and disappearing as the valvulitis subsides. Synonym: Coombs murmur. (05 Mar 2000) |
| machinery murmur | The long "continuous" rumbling murmur of patent ductus arteriosus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vascular murmur | <cardiology> A murmur originating in a blood vessel. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pansystolic murmur | A murmur occupying the entire systolic interval, from first to second heart sounds. Synonym: holosystolic murmur. (05 Mar 2000) |
| venous murmur | A murmur heard over a vein. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vesicular murmur | The respiratory murmur heard on auscultating over the normal lung. Synonym: respiratory murmur, vesicular murmur. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Gibson murmur | The typical continuous "machinery-like" murmur of patent ductus arteriosus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| regurgitant murmur | A murmur due to leakage or backward flow at one of the valvular orifices of the heart. (05 Mar 2000) |
