Most likely your clinician will be able to determine the cause of the murmur based on clinical grounds, or with the aid of an echocardiogram.
What does the ECG and EKG record?

How is an veterinarian EKG machine made?
An EKG machine is an EKG machine (or ECG, depending upon the language you are abbreviating) regardless of the species it will be used on. It is made the same way as well, through automated manufacturing on a factory floor somewhere.
What other tests may be used in conjunction with electrocardiography?
include an echocardiogram (a sonogram of the heart's pumping action) and a stress test--an EKG that is done in conjunction with treadmill or other supervised exercise to observe the heart's function under stress--may also be performed
