What Causes Heart Murmer In Infants?
My daughter has a heart murmer she was born with it, I was told not to worry and that most kids out grow them but then when she went for her physical he heard her heart murmer so he had an ECG done on her heart.The ECG showed she develpoed another heart murmer and she is only 20 months old. Is this a concern and what are some things that you can do to prevent anything from happening?

Dear Mrs,
The best method to find out the cause if heart murmur is to perform an echocardiogram, with echo we can see what causes heart murmur and only after echo we can decide what is the best treatment or management plan for a patient. I would advise you to have an echocardiography done for your child.
Take care
Come back if you have any further questions
