  https://www.yalemedicine.org/conditions/heart-murmur

  Treatments include medication and surgery […] For innocent heart murmurs, no treatment is needed. For abnormal heart murmurs, the type of treatment that’s needed varies, depending on the location and cause of the problem. […] When a heart murmur is found to be innocent or harmless, no treatment is needed. When a heart murmur is abnormal, the underlying health condition should be treated. Common treatments include: Anti-arrhythmic medications, which may help the heart return to a more normal rhythm; ACE inhibitors or ARBs, which can help to lower blood-pressure levels in individuals with high blood pressure, sometimes also helpful for people with heart murmurs; Blood thinners, which can lower the risk that a person with poorly functioning heart valves will develop blood clots in the heart; Antibiotics, which treat bacterial infections that may cause a heart murmur; Surgery or a cardiac catheterization, which can close a hole within a heart wall, or can repair or replace a heart valve. […] Yale has been a leader and innovator in treating children and adults with heart defects since the 1940s, says Dr. Fahey. We carefully evaluate heart murmurs several times a day in our clinics and provide state-of-the-art workups and interventions for any and all patients when necessary.

  https://www.chrichmond.org/services/childrens-hospital-foundation-heart-center/conditions-we-treat/heart-murmurs/

  How a heart murmur is treated […] Heart murmur treatment depends on a number of factors, including the cause and severity of the murmur, as well as the child’s age and overall health. […] In most cases, no treatment is necessary as the most common type of murmur, the 'innocent murmur,’ is just a normal sound audible when the heart beats. The pediatric cardiologist will explain this to you and your child’s doctor. These children have normal hearts and therefore can continue to be treated as normal. In general, as your child nears puberty, these innocent murmurs will no longer be audible to the practitioners who listen to your child. This type of murmur requires no regular follow up. […] In the event that the murmur is a sign of a minor abnormality of the heart, your pediatric cardiologist will suggest follow up usually every 6 months or year. In rare cases, medication can help to allow time for your child to grow out of these minor abnormalities. Almost all of these children also can continue to be treated as normal children. […] In the rarest case, a catheter-based intervention or surgery might be needed to mend a hole in the heart, fix a valve or otherwise address a structural issue. Our pediatric cardiologists will work with you and your child to help understand the diagnosis, testing and treatment options that will best ensure your child can live a happy, healthy life.
