Explanation

"Obvious murmurs" in a medical context refers to sounds that a doctor can clearly hear when listening to a patient's heart or blood vessels. These sounds are not the normal "lub-dub" heartbeat sounds, but additional noises that can sometimes indicate a problem. They can be caused by a variety of issues, such as blood flowing through a narrowed or leaking heart valve. However, not all murmurs are a sign of disease; some are harmless and occur in healthy people.
