Getting to the heart of the matter

Heart murmurs in children can be an especially tricky condition to diagnose and many children will, at some point, play host to a heart murmur. The good news is that most heart murmurs are harmless – but it definitely helps to know the facts:

There are two classifications of abnormal heart sounds known as functional and pathological.

  • Functional: This is a normal heart murmur that’s characterised by loud sounds produced by turbulent blood flow in the heart. 
  • Pathological: A more sinister classification, this type of heart murmur is characterised by loud sounds of the heart which is caused by restrictions in the opening of a heart valve.

Green Point accommodation


Staying in Green Point accommodation is a wonderful choice, as you have easy access to Cape Town’s scintillating CBD, including the expansive V&A. Luxurious yachts and catamarans bob gently in the harbor, hinting at an affluent, elevated lifestyle that most of us dream of. If you fancy a day of fun in the sun, then opt for one of the boat tours regularly leaving the docks and enjoy a wonderful cruise around the bay, admiring some of Cape Town’s highlights from the sea. Look out for the iconic Table Mountain towering in the distance, along with the unmistakably shaped and aptly named, Lion’s Head
