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?

I'm really worried because my one-year-old has a heart murmur. Could you explain what a heart murmur is and if there are specific foods I should be giving my child?
A heart murmur in a one-year-old can be a sound made by turbulent blood flow within the heart, detected during a physical examination. It can be classified as either "innocent," which is harmless and often resolves on its own, or "pathologic," which may indicate underlying heart conditions requiring further evaluation by a pediatric cardiologist. For your baby's diet, it is essential to provide balanced nutrition, including breast milk or formula as the primary source, pureed or soft-cooked fruits and vegetables, whole grains like cereals and oatmeal, proteins such as well-cooked and finely shredded meat, poultry, fish, beans, lentils, and dairy like whole milk or yogurt if recommended by the pediatrician. Consult with your child's pediatrician for personalized advice and to discuss the heart murmur.

I'm really worried because my fourth baby was found to have a small hole in the heart during an echo test done by a baby heart specialist. He said there's no need for medication right now and just advised a follow-up in six months. Does this mean it could be serious? Will this affect my baby's life in the future? What kind of care should we be giving our baby, and are there any treatments we should consider?
It sounds like your baby has been diagnosed with a small hole in the heart, also known as a ventricular septal defect (VSD). In many cases, small VSDs can close on their own as the child grows. It is important to follow up with the baby heart specialist as recommended. In the meantime, you can ensure your baby receives proper nutrition and regular check-ups. It is important to monitor your baby for any signs of respiratory distress, poor feeding, or failure to thrive. If the VSD does not close on its own and causes symptoms, the specialist may recommend surgical intervention. However, in many cases, no treatment is necessary and the hole may close on its own over time. Remember to follow the specialist's advice and attend all follow-up appointments for monitoring the VSD.
