Re: heard a soft heart murmur
One of my girls had a heart murmur. We did the echo at 5 days (which was a piece of cake - she slept the whole time and it's painless). It was diagnosed as a VSD and the cardiologist said that they typically close up in the first few years, but even if they don't they are generally harmless. Kids just need to take antibiotics before dental procedures and surgery. My DD's closed up by the time of her follow up appointment one year later. It caused her no difficulties at all.
I know lots of people with similar experiences. I hope that the results of the echo give you some peace of mind. Best of luck.
