A member asked:
I have an innocent heart murmur. does it make me more likely to get or feel ectopic beats?

Innocent means just that. It would not pre-dispose you to get or feel ectopic beats by itself. If you are more vigilant to your heart function with "murmur" on your mind you may be looking for something heart related to happen. Discuss this all with your doc.

Have you had an echocardiogram that showed no significant abnormalities like mitral valve prolapse? You can have ectopic beats even without valvular heart disease. If you're concerned about palpitations or premature heart beats, get checked with an EKG and by wearing an outpatient heart monitor for 48 hours or longer to determine whether you're experiencing significant cardiac arrythmias.
