What is the worst thing that can happen to someone with a heart murmur?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Heart murmur: Heart murmur just means noise usually caused by an abnormal heart valve or other structure. It is a nonspecific term regarding abnormality. For an person with an insignificant murmur, the worst thing is no different from anyone else. For a murmur due to heart disease, the worst is perhaps dying due to the lesion causing the murmur.
