What causes a systolic ejection murmur in adults?i've had heart ablation & echoes but this is new.can weight loss cause it?i've lost 110lbs naturally.

Possibly: The most common cause is turbulence of blood crossing the aortic or pulmonic valves. Anemia (from malnutrition?) will exacerbate it. Innocent murmurs with no findings on echo can be systolic ejection murmurs.
