How will a heart murmur affect my exercise and long distance running?

Doctor's Answer

An incidental murmur, with no cause found either from the heart or otherwise would have no long term impact, but you may want to confirm that this is so with your physician.

If necessary, a treadmill test can be useful for your reassurance, but is not required if you are otherwise fit, well and active with no symptoms.
