Heart surgery in children may result from various factors such as congenital heart defects, infections and respiratory problems. Timely consultation with a pediatric cardiologist is key to proper evaluation and management. Late access to medical care may lead to complications.

Your 12-year-old boy's chest pain and poor weight gain complaint can be alarming. You should consult a pediatrician who specializes in cardiology to assess pain in the chest as well as see a pediatrician or pediatric endocrinologist who can address his weight and growth issues.

Young people, like your daughter, often experience abnormal heart rhythms. The skipping heartbeat, then a rapid one, is called palpitations. Reasons can be stress, caffeine intake, inadequate sleep, or hormonal fluctuations. Generally harmless, but mentioning it to a cardiologist is wise for reassurance.

This is referred to as a congenital heart defect. Some signs might include difficulty breathing, poor weight gain, and a bluish tint to the skin. The hole can disrupt normal blood flow. Surgery may sometimes be needed to repair the hole, but not always. Your baby's doctor will guide you on the best treatment plan.

A 2mm perimembranous VSD refers to a tiny opening in the heart. Whereas, right renal dysplasia signifies improper formation of the right kidney. Occasionally, the hole might naturally close as the baby develops further. However, if it persists, surgical intervention may be needed once the baby grows older. The likelihood of surgery depends upon the baby's progress over time. Ensure regular follow-ups with your doctor to provide optimal care for your baby.
