Should Parents Be Informed of Innocent Murmurs?

Some Consequences of Routine Disclosure, and Some Suggestions for Transmitting the Information

Ronald D. Greenwood, M.D., CAPT., USAMC

Department of Cardiology, Children's Hospital Medical Center, 300 Longwood Avenue, Boston, Mass. 02115, From the Department of Pediatrics, Irwin Army Hospital; and the U. S. Army Health Clinic, Schilling, Salina, Kans
