Cardiac Murmur Evaluation
A heart murmur is an extra sound the doctor hears through the stethoscope as blood flows through the heart and blood vessels. It is one of the most common reasons for a referral to a pediatric cardiologist and is often noticed during a routine check-up.
Most murmurs in childhood are innocent (functional): they are not caused by heart disease and need no treatment. In some cases, however, a murmur can point to a congenital heart defect.
A complete pediatric cardiology examination reliably clarifies this, giving parents a clear answer and peace of mind.
What the examination includes
- Medical history and clinical examination
- Electrocardiogram (ECG)
- Heart ultrasound (echocardiography)
- Oxygen saturation (pulse oximetry) and blood pressure measurement
- Explanation for parents and, if needed, a follow-up plan
