Come on ginger, you know enough from the first post to say what is going on
Let's stick our necks out.
It's a grade 1 midsystolic ('ejection' ) murmur in a youngster. Completely innocent.
An echo is a complete waste of time and money from a clinical point of view, but (s)he needs it otherwise every single time it gets pickup the medical will be on the line. That's a CAA policy, and if it's as surmised as above there no evidence I am aware of which makes it a sensible policy.
What would you do if you picked up such a murmur in a primary care setting?
Here you go, cannot beat google. AHA algorithm
