My son has VSD 2.5 left to right and ASD 4 mm left to right. Should we be worried about this? Does he need surgery or can it repair on its own?

I'm really worried because my baby was born with a 3mm ASD and a 5mm VSD in their heart. Can you help me understand how risky this situation is for my baby?

Risk depends on the location of the defect,weather it is locatetd in dominant or non dominant area and is it causing PAH etc., repeat 2D echo after 6 months of age and follow your doctors advice

What does it mean when an infant ECG report says "borderline ECG unconfirmed diagnosis"? Should I be worried about anything? The report mentions these numbers: RATE 65, PR 246, QRS 72, QT 479, and QTC 499. Could you help me understand if these are normal for an infant?

visit dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate management

My daughter is 40 days old and was diagnosed with a single large VSD leading to a single ventricle, severe PAH, and normally related great arteries. The pulmonary artery is dilated from the right side of the ventricle and unrestricted, with mild AR and moderate left AVVR plus mild right AVVR. The doctor said it's very complex and critical, recommending multistage palliation. Are there any alternative surgeries instead of multiple operations? It's so overwhelming to think about her going through so many procedures.

It is understandable that you are overwhelmed by the prospect of multiple surgeries for your 40-day-old daughter. While the situation is complex and requires multistage palliation, there may be some alternative approaches to consider, such as interventional catheterization for certain aspects of her condition. However, the final decision should be made in consultation with her cardiologist and cardiac surgeon, taking into account the specifics of her anatomy and physiology.
