Explanation

"Without murmur" in a medical context refers to the absence of unusual sounds when a doctor listens to a patient's heart or lungs. Normally, the heart makes a specific "lub-dub" sound. If there are extra or unusual sounds, like a whooshing or swishing, doctors call these "murmurs". So, if a patient is described as "without murmur", it means their heart is making the normal sounds and no abnormal ones.
