What are the restrictions on airline pilots if they have a heart murmur? The doc says I have one that is harmless but I didn't know if it would keep me from flying.
 
I had one too until about 20 years old.

The AME didn't seem to care much.
 
i have a heart murmur (vsd) which is a tiny hole between my bottom two chambers of my heart and have a 3rd class unrestricted besides corrected vision, and the ame said i will have no probs getting a 1st. so dont worry.
 
I have a heart murmur also, but my doctor has said that it causes no problems right now. I will have to see what an AME says about it in the future. Hope it's not a problem!

they will find out about it cuz when they listen to your heart they can hear it. but when you get your medical take paper work w/ you from a cardiologist saying you checked out fine and you will have no prob. getting your medical.
 
I have had one since I was born. Its gotten better in the last few years. I didnt put it down on the medical and the doctor couldnt hear it, so it wasnt an issue.
