What is the difference between a heart murmur and a cardiac arrythmia?

Question

My husband has had a heart murmur from birth. He is now 50. He has a cardiac arrythmia, for which he takes a daily beta blocker.
Are the two conditions one and the same? What role does stress play on the heart?

Answer 1

A heart murmur is an abnormal extra sound made when the heart beats. The sound is produced by blood moving through the heart and its valves.
Any disturbance or irregularity of the heartbeat is called cardiac arrhythmias.
Both conditions are different entities and require different treatment.
Stress is the main cause; leading to heart attack (AMI ) and even death in person suffering from cardiac disease/s. It's the root cause of our fast life.
