Heart murmurs can be caused by many different issues within the heart and range from benign to serious. Lexapro generally doesn't have any adverse effects on the heart, but can cause heart palpitations, chest pain, and increases in blood pressure. The reason that Lexapro may not be taken with heart disease is because it has not been systematically evaluated in patients with a recent history of myocardial infarction or unstable heart disease. Bottom-line: they don't know how it will effect patients with heart disorders, but your brother should closely watch for any strange or unusual sensations, heart rhythms/beats, pain or discomfort. Report anything unusual to the doctor immediately
