I am familiar with aspects of/treatments for PDA (Patent Ductus Arteriosus). There are other causes of murmur, valve issues etc...You need to get an accurate diagnosis, PDA's are not uncommon and can be heard with a stethoscope. Dr Sleeper at UPenn is one of the tops in this field and may provide a referral to a specialist closer to you.
