[RC] Heart Murmur - Benedikte Whitman

I would also like to know what this sounds like.  I have a CTR mare who has an 
arythmic heart and 
since I wear a heart monitor - I can hear it.  It only happens below about 60 
bpm and since my 
alarm comes on then, I can hear the 3 beats and then silence on my watch.

However, I don't think this is the same as a murmur - is it?  My vet isn't 
alarmed by it especially 
since it goes away as soon as she starts moving.  It has even been helpful at a 
P&R when otherwsie 
she would not quite have made criteria.  (Before anyone gets upset - my gelding 
stands in line at a 
CTR P&R and pants because he likes to smell all the other horses - so we are 
always over on the R.  
It all evens out).
