A member asked:
I read diastolic murmurs are always pathological. do most doctors know this? is it common knowledge? or might some think diastolic can be innocent?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not so absolute.: Systolic and diastolic murmurs can be "functional" in high flow states such as pregnancy or a febrile illness. In that circumstance, the murmur would not be pathological.
