Heart Murmurs
Greetings fellow prooners,
How does CAA Medical dept view heart murmurs when issuing Class 1 Medicals?
I shall try and explain the story briefly.
When I was young I was diagnosed with an ASD, a small one this was 21 years ago, at the time the doctor said to my parents that the hole in the heart should close when I am older and advised us to return for a check up few years down the line.
Now years passed, I moved to UK and completely forgot about the ASD until my 3 year old was diagnosed with one and also a PAPVC, he had heart surgery everything went well and he is doing very good, no problems watsoever.
7 years ago I did a class 2 medical just before I started my PPL all was fine and a class 2 was issued.
Recently I went to the GP to have my heart checked he referred me to have some blood tests and an ECG and pending the results of these maybe an Eco at a later date.
He did hear my heart sounds and found a little murmur, hopefully nothing serious.
If nothing more than a little murmur is it an automatic bar for issuing a class 1medical?
Kind Regards.
