Murmurs are produced by blood flow turbulence and are more prolonged than heart sounds; they may be systolic, diastolic, or continuous. They are graded by intensity (see Table 3: Approach to the Cardiac Patient: Heart Murmur Intensity ), and described by their location and when they occur within the cardiac cycle.

Note the timing of murmurs. Is it systolic or diastolic? ... Note the timing of any murmur. Mitral regurgitation produces a pansystolic murmur of roughly even intensity throughout systole. Mitral stenosis produces a diastolic murmur described as presystolic. As soon as the murmur finishes, the first sound is heard.
