A member asked:

How could a heart murmur in a 22 year old go undetected?

Dr. Barton Cook answered

Specializes in Pediatric Cardiology

Murmur: If the murmur was just heard recently, it may not have been present for very long. That fact that you have a murmur now does not mean you had a murmur last year. Do you have heart disease, or an innocent murmur?
