Hi Drinala

Sorry, I wasnt confused but I apologise for not being clear.

The important thing is to identify the cause of the murmur. This can be done with an ultrasound for a couple of hundred pounds or an MRI for a thousand or more. I was just making the point to anyone else in this situation that they should ask for an ultrasound and to see a cardiologist not spend money initially on an MRI

Your MRI will have identified the cause of the murmur. The MRI isnt good or bad, it is a report. I presume if you have been told the murmur is benign there is no physical abnormaliity. It is a flow murmur.

As there is nothing wrong with your heart I see no reason to repeat the tests. If you came for an operation I would want to see the MRI report but then I would do no further tests as there is nothing wrong. I presume you have nearly three years before being asked to spend a fortune again so I would ask your cardiologist to be clear in his report that there is no anatomical or other pathology and then send it to your regulator. Even if you cant persuade them perhaps they will agree to let you get away with just an ultrasound next time
