==Overview==
==Overview==
A continuous murmur begins in [[systole]] and continues into [[diastole]].  They are caused by blood flow from high pressure chambers into low pressure chambers.  The most common causes of continuous murmurs are [[patent ductus arteriosus]], [[arteriovenous fistula]] and arterial [[stenosis]].

Overview

A continuous murmur begins in systole and continues into diastole. They are caused by blood flow from high pressure chambers into low pressure chambers. The most common causes of continuous murmurs are patent ductus arteriosus, arteriovenous fistula and arterial stenosis.

Causes

Life Threatening Causes

Life-threatening causes include conditions which may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated.
