Heart murmurs
are very difficult to deal with. They're also very tough to recognize for
physicians as to whether they are serious heart murmurs, or what we call the
benign ones. I won't get into specifics here, but basically there are two
types of murmurs that can be a problem. The ones that are more serious
could actually cause extra stress on the heart, extra pressure. Down the
road, that can lead to long-term damage, even enlarging of the heart and
problems like that. So, it's very important that murmurs be detected and
worked up.
We always
appreciate your comments.
