But the stresses to the cardiovascular system in army are quite different from that in civilian life. Any significant heart problem is certainly to be excluded by appropriate investigations like an echocardiogram even in civilian life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Generally a person with heart murmur is unlikely to be taken for the air force as they do not take any chances in such high risk jobs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":59809,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[1657],"class_list":["post-9285","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-general","tag-heart-murmur-and-airforce"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Can someone with a heart murmur join the airforce?
