Pathology
- Venous hum is a benign phenomena, which is caused by blood flow over jugular veins.[1]
- At rest approximately 20% of Cardiac out put pass through internal carotid and vertebral bodies.
- It may result in a continuous humming noise.
- Typically it is heard in upper chest near clavicle.
- It can be differentiated from cardiac murmurs only by placing a finger on jugular vein which abolish or change the murmur however cardiac born murmurs will not change by this maneuver.
- the murmur is also position dependent and can change in intensity if the patient lies in supine form or turn their head to one side.[2]
