I am so relieved that she will monitor my heart murmer & order another echocardiogram in 2 years. She is the only doctor that listened to my heartbeat & said she could hear the murmer. I had been to a cardiologist at UMass who ordered an echo but stated he didn't think he'd find anything. He asked me if the echo showed nothing was it ok not to schedule a follow up appointment. Needless to say I never heard back from him. When I read the echo results it said mild to moderate (? Unsure of the correct terminology) heart valve issue.
