A member asked:

Does a normal echocardiogram mean heart murmur is benign?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Murmur: A heart murmur. A murmur is just noise. Sometimes serious problems cause a murmur many times a murmur is caused by normal flow. Patients often mistranslate what the dr. Tells them. A normal echocardiogram implies there is no heart abnormality causing the noise
