Hi
I'm looking for some advice. 29 years ago aged 4 I had an ASD ostium primum patch repair. I am female btw
I've never had any issues or concerns. Twice now I have been to my local doctors practice and seen 2 different doctors both of whom have stated that they think I have a heart murmur. I explained I had an ASD repair and neither of them suggested any follow up.
So what I would like to know would an ASD repair cause my heart to sound different? I'm guessing that I shouldn't have a heart murmur given that the ASD was supposed to correct this via the closure of the holes in my heart. I have no symptons and otherwise in perfect health. In truth I haven't even thought about the repair for the last 29 years and have led an active normal life always.
I'm wondering if I should pursue my doctor for futher tests? I would like to start a family and so I'm thinking perhaps I should have this checked in advance?
If anyone can help I would be very grateful.
Many Thanks
