Explanation

"Without murmurs" in a medical context refers to the absence of unusual sounds during a heartbeat. Normally, a healthy heart makes two sounds, often described as a 'lub-dub' noise. If a doctor says a patient is "without murmurs", it means that no extra or abnormal sounds were heard when listening to the patient's heart. These extra sounds, or murmurs, can sometimes indicate a problem with the heart's valves or structure.
