Description

Is my child's heart murmur dangerous or just harmless? Heart murmurs and when they matter — Pezad Doctor, MD, Pediatric Cardiology at Children's Mercy - Pediatrics in Practice - CME, and Mahmoud Jaara, MD, pediatric cardiology fellow at Children's Mercy - Pediatrics in Practice - CME, explain how to tell innocent murmurs (soft, systolic, short, position‑dependent) from concerning ones, which symptoms and family history raise concern, and what to expect at a cardiology visit (exam, oxygen saturation, pulses).
