Heart murmurs can be serious however they can also be minor depending on past family history. If it's in your family, in that fact an cardiac history, it's possibly just a family gene problem. I would have your pediatrician take a look at your baby's heart, and have them do a non-invasive EKG to help determine the severity, but most murmurs aren't severe at this stage.

What is a heart murmor?

A heart murmur is a sound or murmur that a doctor hears with a stethiscope. Before a baby is born a hole exists between the ventricles. At birth, that hole starts closing. Normally it is completely closed in the first few years of a child's life. If it presists into adolescence, an operation may be necessary to close it, otherwise the person might get out of breath real easy.


Is it normal for a newborn baby born and his left side heart did not close all the way?

All babies in the womb have an opening between the left ventricle and right ventricle of the heart. This opening can close at birth or shortly after. When this hole has not closed, the child has a heart murmur. Most heart murmurs are gone by the time a child is 6. If the murmur is severe, the child may need heart surgery. Since they tend to go away on their own, it is frequently a case of wait and see. Still, the decision is between the parents and the doctor.
