Heart disease ??: There are many cardiac abnormalities that can be detected on exam (arrhythmias/murmurs). But just listening to the heart can't tell us everything. There are other tests that we do, based on your symptoms, if we think there may be something wrong with your heart: EKG, echocardiogram, heart catheterisation, and others. If young, healthy, & without symptoms, it's unlikely anything was missed.
