Q: my 3 year old was found to have a small heart murmur today for the first time. could it be pda or other heart issue that wasn't discovered earlier?

: Your child is more likely to have a benign, often called innocent, murmur. More than 80% of children have innocent murmurs sometime during childhood, most commonly beginning at age 3 to 4 years. Innocent murmurs are accentuated in high cardiac output states, especially with fever and anemia.
