Hello,
Murmur is an abnormal flow of blood either through abnormal pathways or the normal pathways.
A valve problem means either in aortic or pulmonary. Don't worry nowadays treatment is available in every city. You are not seeing symptoms because it could be minor problem.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Prasanna Lakshmi, Pediatrician
