My doctor says I have a heart murmur. How can I find out more about it?

Your doctor is right, you do have a heart murmur. It’s called an aortic valve regurgitation. This type of murmur occurs when the valves in your heart don’t close properly and blood flows back through them instead of being pumped forward. Aortic valve regurgitation isn’t usually serious, but it may require treatment to reduce its severity. You should discuss this with your doctor and ask for more information about how to manage your condition.
