I'm really worried about my 9-day-old baby who weighs just 3kg right now. The doctors mentioned something about an 8mm ostium secundum ASD and a left to right shunt. Can you explain what this means for my baby? Does this require immediate treatment or monitoring? Is there a chance it could affect their growth or overall health? I've also noted their birth weight was 2.88kg. I'm hoping to understand this better, as I'm quite anxious.

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.
