My baby is just 5 days old and the doctors found a 4mm VSD. I'm really worried and I need to know if it'll heal on its own or if surgery is necessary. Can you please help me understand what we should do?

In infants, small ventricular septal defects (VSD) like the 4mm VSD detected in your baby can often close on their own without the need for surgery. Regular monitoring by a pediatrician is important to track the size of the defect and ensure proper management. In some cases, medication such as Lasix may be prescribed to manage symptoms. However, if the VSD does not close on its own and causes significant symptoms or complications, surgical intervention may be considered. It is important to follow up with your pediatrician for further evaluation and management

I found out I have mitral valve prolapseAML in February, and I'm wondering if homeopathy can completely treat it. I also tend to get anxious pretty often. Could you tell me if homeopathy might help with that too?

cardiologist and psychiatric opinion is advised

My son is 1.6 years old and weighs 14.2 kg. He was diagnosed with a small doubly committed VSD with a left-to-right shunt, no RCC prolapse, and no aortic insufficiency. The VSD gradient is 90 mmHg. Should he undergo surgery for this?

cardiology opinion is advised.
