if you have an 'innocent' murmur, the ones that don't require surgery because the heart maintains regular blood flow and it's just a 'noisey' heart, blah blah blah... is it still a risk? i have an innocent murmur and just decided it'd be a bad idea to even try x... but i would really like to know if there is any dangers at all...

Risk is increased in people with cardiac murmurs when they take ecstasy. Your friend is an idiot, have a good time explaining it to the hospital ER when he/she is admitted for toxicity.
