Overview
Continuous murmurs begin in systole and continue into diastole through the second heart sound. 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.
Common Causes
- Anemia
- Aortic coarctation
- Arteriovenous fistula
- Cervical venous hum
- Patent ductus arteriosus
- Pericardial friction rub
- Pregnancy
- Pulmonary arteriovenous fistula
- Renal artery stenosis
- Valvular heart disease
