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?

View allI'm really worried about my newborn baby boy's health. His report mentions a small perimembranous VSD, mild pulmonary stenosis, and a small residual PDA. Can someone explain what these mean? Are these issues something he'll outgrow, or will they need ongoing treatment? I'm looking for more information on how serious these are and what the next steps should be. Would really appreciate some guidance.
Your newborn's report indicates three congenital heart conditions: a small perimembranous ventricular septal defect (VSD), mild pulmonary stenosis, and a small residual patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). A small VSD is a hole in the heart's septum that can sometimes close on its own but needs monitoring. Mild pulmonary stenosis is a narrowing near the pulmonary valve that restricts blood flow to the lungs and often requires regular follow-up. A small residual PDA is an open vessel that normally closes after birth; it may close on its own or require medical management. The treatment plan will depend on how these conditions affect your child's health, and regular follow-ups with a pediatric cardiologist are essential to monitor and manage them. Discuss these findings with your child's cardiologist to understand the prognosis and specific treatment options.

I'm concerned about my 2-year-old. He has a heart murmur and is scheduled for a heart scan in a couple of months. I've noticed he gets nosebleeds every few months as well. Could the nosebleeds be connected to the murmur? Should I be worried about this combination of symptoms?
Nose bleeds and heart murmurs are not typically directly related. Nose bleeds in children can be caused by various factors such as dry air, allergies, or minor trauma. However, in some cases, certain heart conditions can lead to bleeding disorders which may manifest as nose bleeds. It is important to wait for the results of the heart scan to determine if there is any connection between the two issues. In the meantime, you can consult with a pediatrician to address the nose bleeds and monitor your child's symptoms.

I'm really worried about my daughter. She fainted while running and we just found out she has a hole in her heart. I'm wondering, what kind of treatment options are out there for this sort of thing? Do you think homoeopathy could actually help since it's supposed to treat many surgical cases? Or will she definitely need surgery to fix it?
The treatment options for a hole in the heart, also known as atrial septal defect (ASD) or ventricular septal defect (VSD), depend on the size of the hole and the symptoms it is causing. In many cases, especially if the hole is small and not causing significant symptoms, no treatment may be necessary as the hole may close on its own over time. However, if the hole is large or causing symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, or recurrent respiratory infections, treatment may be needed. Surgery is often required to repair a significant hole in the heart. The surgical procedure involves closing the hole with a patch or stitches to prevent blood from flowing abnormally between the heart chambers. In some cases, a minimally invasive procedure called cardiac catheterization may be performed to close the hole using a device inserted through a blood vessel. While homoeopathy may help manage symptoms associated with a hole in the heart, it is not considered a primary treatment for structural heart defects like ASD or VSD. It is important to consult with a cardiologist or pediatric cardiologist to determine the most appropriate treatment plan for your daughter's condition.
