Frequently Asked Questions
My doctor said my child has a heart murmur — is this serious?
Many childhood murmurs are “innocent” — a normal sound of blood flow that doesn't indicate heart disease. Some, however, need further evaluation to rule out a structural cause. A pediatric evaluation, and echocardiography if indicated, is the safest way to know which type your child has.
Does every heart murmur mean congenital heart disease?
No. Innocent murmurs are common in healthy children and often change or disappear with age. Only a proper clinical evaluation, and echocardiography where needed, can distinguish an innocent murmur from one linked to congenital heart disease.
My baby's lips turn bluish while crying or feeding — should I worry?
Bluish discoloration (cyanosis) during crying or feeding can be a sign of an underlying heart or breathing issue and should be evaluated promptly rather than observed at home.
Do you perform echocardiography at the clinic?
Yes. Pediatric and fetal echocardiography is performed in-house by the doctor, so most children needing cardiac imaging do not need to be referred elsewhere for it.
