Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
my 20month old son was seen by his dr the other day, she has always heard a heart murmur and said it sounded benign. now she said it doesnt and to schedule a visit with the cardiologist. how does it suddenly concern her and not before? she scared me a lot without explaining its effects or what to expect
The murmur initially sounded beningn and now considered significant could be because of various causes...the intensity of murmur might have increased or it may be associated with enlarging heart size or other cardiac symptoms.. Which always needs further evaluation like echo
