HEART MURMOR & THE CLASS 1

[genius-747]

Hello, I am 19 years old and have a ppl. and abviously a class 2 medical.
On obtaining this class 2 a slight heart murmor was discovered. I was sent to a cardioligy unit for further tests- all was in the clear and it was said to be "benigne heart murmor". What I am conserned aboutis will there be any problem getting my class 1 with a benigne heart murmor? Everything else in in tip top shape, eyes, hearing etc..
Responses greatly appreciated.
thank you.

Don't think so.

Many people have heart murmours that do not effect the function of the heart and in a lot of cases do not show up on ECG.

Should be fine

I have a benign heart murmur and I have held an Aussie class 1 medical for 10 years. I havent applied to the big airlines yet so I don't know how it will affect my application, but on the basis that all the Cardiologists reckon it causes no harm I should be fine.

Did they tell you what caused your Murmur? Mine is a congenital defect (ie: born with it), a Bi-cuspid Aortic valve (as opposed to 3 cusps). Most doctors don't hear it unless they know its there.

Cheers

yes i was born with my heart murmor also.
It was supposed to have cleared itself up a few years after birth, but the damn class 2 doctor heard something on the stetascope and wanted to get it checked out further.-- off to the ecg, eeg, halter monitor, and ultra scan..
