Heart Murmurs: Treatment

 
Medical Encyclopedia: Heart Murmurs: Treatment

Innocent heart murmurs do not affect the patient's health and require no treatment. Heart murmurs due to septal defects may require surgery. Those due to valvular defects may require antibiotics to prevent infection during certain surgical or dental procedures. Severely damaged or diseased valves can be repaired or replaced through surgery.
