Talk:Heart murmur

message: It might be a good idea to get the sounds of a heart murmur.
You know audio of each grade of heart murmur so that we can get a feel. Cause the description is a little off.71.142.242.233 (talk) 07:41, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

message: I think the explanations given here for this classification are not accurate nor complete. Organic are murmurs caused by a direct lesion/disease of the heart while functional is divided into organo-functional, functional and anorganic and are due to intrinsic disturbances to the blood flow in the heart. Also, the claim that all functional murmurs are innocent is not true. I hope someone with more knowledge then me, will make the correct adjustment if needed.89.136.142.55 (talk) 15:18, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

message: I think a sound file of a heart murmur heard with a stethoscope should be uploaded. Pdiddyjr (talk) 17:11, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Required 

message: This entry is way too complicated for the average Wikipedia reader to understand.  I think it needs to be completely re-written so it reads more like an general health article for the public and less like a medical school textbook.  For example, the entry refers to "Post ectopic potentiation" but the vast majority of Wikipedia users won't have the slightest idea what that means.  Here's another one: "Inhalation leads to an increase in intrathoracic negative pressure..."  I rewrote the first paragraph but the whole thing needs to be rewritten.

thread_title:  Too technical 

message: The first paragraph used to say a murmur is caused by blood flowing over a heart valve but didn't specify which heart valve.  I changed it to "Heart murmurs are pathologic heart sounds produced when blood flows across one of the heart valves...." If a heart murmur only flows across a specific heart valve or all of them, then I think it would be useful to readers if this changed to say which one etc.  Also, is there another word that can be used for "pathologic" or can it be dropped?  Thank you. Rissa, copy editor 00:56, 23 April 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  Why does "pansystolic" redirect here? 

message: Entry for George Alexander Gibson links here because he was the first discoverer of a heart murmur, known as the Gibson Murmur and this page links back to him - but nowhere does it state which of these murmurs is the Gibson murmur. Agree with other commenters that this page should be rewritten. Too medical.

message: Hi SDpsych, I appreciate you reviewing my article and work plan. Please find my responses to your feedback below:
Feedback on Goals for 3/9:
* Thank you for the suggestions. I went through the article to provide links for most of the medical terms. I also explained some terms that I could not find links for.
* I replaced ‘radiates’ with ‘travels’ to remove the redundancy.
Feedback on Goals for 3/16: 
* Thanks for the tips. I updated medical references with recent textbooks and patient education articles that are within the last 5 years. The patient education article should is specifically geared for patients.
Feedback on Goals for 3/21:
* I attempted to include illustrations by searching the creative commons link recommended by Wikipedia. However, I did not find good and appropriate images for this article. Searches included ‘heart murmur’, ‘heart’, ‘auscultation’, ‘stethoscope’, ‘heart areas’. Do you recommend any other ways to find images that can be uploaded to Wikipedia?
* I included physiologic explanations to further describe heart murmurs. This included links to medical terms such as ‘afterload’, ‘preload’, ‘systemic vascular resistance’, etc.
* Similar to images I used creative commons to search for audio files and did not find any that were representative of heart murmurs. Do you have any recommendations places to find audio files that can be used on Wikipedia?
Overall:
Thank you for your peer review. I included citations as you recommended. I also used hemingway editor to improve readability of the article. It has gone from postgraduate level to grade 9 or lower. I believe this article still requires work, however is much improved from prior. Thank you.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by CaramelMind (talk • contribs) 17:01, 25 March 2022 (UTC)
