A murmur is an extra sound the heart can make when blood flows through it. Some murmurs are harmless (called ‘innocent’ ‘benign’ or ‘functional’). Some murmurs are not normal. Your child or teen will need some tests to see if the murmur is a problem or not.
Below you will find resources to help you better understand, cope with and/or support someone with a heart murmur.
