From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A souffle (English: /ˈsuːfəl/)[lower-alpha 1] is a vascular or cardiac murmur with a blowing quality when heard on auscultation. It is particularly used to describe vascular murmurs or transmitter heart sounds which occur during pregnancy, either from the uterus and breasts of the mother, or from the fetus.[citation needed]
