What Could Be The Reason For Having A Heart Murmur?
Hi. I am 26 years old. I was recently at a doctors appointment and a new heart murmur was detected. My EKG was normal sinus and I am scheduled for a TTE. I know this could be innocent, yet I m concerned bc I have never had a murmur before. What could this be?

hello and welcome
the significance of a heart murmur is determined by what symptoms you have.
if there are no symptoms and other cardiac examination is normal then it is likely to be innocent
the echocardiography will clarify the issue
