Whom To Consult To Diagnose A Heart Murmur?
I took my daughter for a routine sports physical (she is trying out for women s crew in college) she is very active...running and competitive swimming. I couldn t get a timely appt with regular physician but saw a FNP at a clinic. We were told that she had a heart murmur and needed to be cleared for activity. Should her doctor that she sees every year have been able to diagnosis this???

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Some persons are present for a long period of time.
There are others however that develop over time and some that are precipitated by certain events eg anemia, thyroid disease, fluid overload,infection can also cause a murmur to be heard.
It would depend on the type of murmur present and any underlying factors.
I hope this helps
