What is the Prognosis for Newborns with Innocent Murmurs?
The prognosis for newborns with innocent murmurs is excellent. These murmurs are benign and do not indicate any underlying heart disease. Most innocent murmurs resolve on their own as the child grows and the cardiovascular system matures. Regular follow-up with a pediatrician is usually sufficient to monitor the murmur and ensure that it remains benign.
