A member asked:

18month old has got to have a heart scan as the doctor found a heart murmur, he said it sounds quite loud. should i be worried ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: You should be worried if you DON'T have the exam - most likely an echo, not a scan. There is always more anxiety relating to the unknown. Many murmurs are innocent and require no treatment. If you have a serious cause, it's better to diagnose it earlier and treat it before permanent harm is done than to ignore it and wait. Good luck!
