How many different heart murmurs can a person have?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Depends on how many doctors listen! murmur is sound of moving blood. Doctors do not always agree on the causation of the sound but.... An echo eliminates any uncertainty and quantifies any turbulent flow. Some very experienced doctors with good ears can hear several murmurs at once.
