Heart Murmur

A heart murmur isn't a disease, and most murmurs are harmless. Innocent murmurs don't cause symptoms or require you to limit physical activity. Although an innocent murmur may be a lifelong condition, your heart is normal and you likely won't need treatment.

The outlook and treatment for abnormal heart murmurs depends on the type and severity of the heart problem causing them.
