Issue How do you look after a heart murmur? Is the operation dangerous? Best Tip Heart Murmurs are caused beacause of problems in the heart valves. There are 4 group of heart valves and one or more when affected can cause these murmurs. So, the reason behind the murmur is vital to decide on any treatment. some murmurs in some indivusals can be physiological and may not need treatment. so, the idea is to have the heart scanned by an echocardiogram which will study the valves of the heart and indicate any problem if present. All surgeries if the heart can be quite dangerous. But again surgeries of the heart are done only when it is absolutely necessary and when the benefits outweigh the risks. I would suggest u have a chat with ur doctor in detail about the condition and the line of treatment. Good Luck! Others Most of the time heart murmurs are not dangerous, but you must ask your doctor. Any operation is dangerous, but you must decied if it is more dangerous with or without the operation. Try to find a doctor that you trust. Don't agree to anything unless you understand. The internet is a great place to get information, and then you can talk to your doctor about the information that you found. Heart operations are dangerous. A murmur can be fatal if not corrected in time. Ask a cardiologist. The underlying cause of heart murmur should be investigated and surgical remedy, if needed, should be taken. Aneurysm of the aorta, mitral, aortic, pulmonary stenosis, etc can cause heart murmurs and such conditions are life threatening.
