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.
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
