Tricuspid regurgitation at 24 weeks means a tiny amount of blood flows back into the heart. It's common and typically doesn't cause issues for babies. Your little one will likely be fine. No treatment needed. Monitor during regular check-ups. If concerns arise, we'll address them then. For now, relax and focus on caring for yourself and your baby.

You're concerned about your 6-year-old child having rheumatic heart disease (RHD). This condition develops after strep throat infections. Signs like chest discomfort, breathing issues, and tiredness may appear. Confirming RHD requires tests like echocardiograms. Treatment involves medication to control symptoms and prevent complications, plus regular cardiologist visits. Remember, prioritize a nutritious diet and physical activity for your child's heart health.

A 6-year-old having a 100 heart rate per minute while sleeping can be normal. For kids, the rate of the heart can change with the activities they do, the emotions they feel, and the sleep. The abnormality of the heart rate to 100 while sleeping can be because of dreams or a low-grade virus infection. If your child seems ok as well as doesn't have any other symptoms, observe the situation. If you are worried or you see any odd symptoms, talk to a cardiologist.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a condition where the heart's muscle thickens. This makes pumping blood difficult for the heart. Some people don't experience symptoms. Others may have chest pain, breathlessness, or fatigue. Medicines help the heart work better and reduce complication risk. Sometimes, a septal myectomy procedure improves blood flow by removing part of the thickened muscle.
