A member asked:

Is it normal to detect a heart murmur until now that my kid is 4 yrs old. never got found when she was a baby.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Common finding: If i listen to a kid often enough i will eventually hear a murmur.It is more likely to be an innocent one than one meaning something bad. Even significant murmurs are not always evident at birth but may be detected at 2-4 months of age or older, since the pressures within the heart shift from pre to post birth work.
