Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) is what she has. It is a small "hole" in the heart between the left and right ventrical. Most outgrow it during childhood or their adolescence.
Right now there are no restrictions on her except being given antibiotics before a dental appointment to prevent her from getting a blood infection. If she were to get an infection in her blood it would likely go to the murmur.
Checkup in one year and that's it! Good news.

Jordan's Heart Murmur
"Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn't die; so, let us all be thankful." -- Buddha

WOW MARS
How long has she been suffering with that problem?
I knew that MURMURS could be resolved on their own----
are murmurs always a *hole* --I didnt know that--
I always knew them to be a slight *purring* sound
I think thats what set off my MCC---cus my RETIRED GP---said I had MVP and for years I was always taking antibiotics while having dental work dont---which @ one point I had megga work done and then I find out I DONT have MVP----just a slight murmur???
Could the 2 be related???
I know that all my test for MVP were negative but GP insisted I had MVP!!
UFF---
sending best wishes to Jordan---

the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness and self-control
Sure glad it's not something worse, Mars!!! Murmers seem to run in my family but as far as I know they haven't caused any real problems.
