Heart murmur: Heart murmur is simply a noise heard by an examiner originating in the heart. The common denominator among all causes is turbulent blood flow. This may be normal (children, pregnancy), physiologic (anemia, fever, XS thyroid) or pathologic (valve or architecture abnormality). Zofran (ondansetron) is not a cause. Echocardiography (heart ultrasound) is the test of choice to evaluate.
