A member asked:
At what age can i expect my child to outgrow his "innocent" heart murmur?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Doesn't matter: It can be months, years, or occasionally never. Since it is "innocent" you (and as they grow older, your child) need to tell new doctors about the murmur, and the fact it has been evaluated and found to be harmless. And live a normal, heart healthy lifestyle!
