Dr.Das.
A heart murmur is turbulent blood flow from an abnormal valve or an abnormality of a blood vessel or an abnormal connection of two structures. An echocardiographic study should be able to depict the abnormality using several different views and techniques, No study is 100% accurate, however, echo studies come very close.
