Is it true that if I have a heart murmur, it's possible that I may have other serious health problems?

Yes, it is. A heart murmur can be caused by a number of different conditions, including rheumatic fever, congenital heart defects, and some types of valve disease. If you have a heart murmur, your doctor will likely want to evaluate you further to determine the cause. This could include additional tests such as an echocardiogram or cardiac MRI.
