Your baby unfortunately has a double aortic arch, which is a makeup of his heart and vessels. It means the aorta, a major blood vessel, does not take its usual path. That is why children may have trouble breathing and difficulty swallowing. The good news is that this can be treated with surgery performed after the baby is born for most of the children. Doctors will talk more about what that means and guide you through it.

My daughter suffered from cyanotic congenital heart disease .
Female | 16
When a baby gets born with a heart issue, their body doesn't receive enough blood flow. This condition, cyanotic congenital heart disease, causes a blue hue on their skin. The heart struggles to pump blood properly, leaving infants appearing tired and breathless. Doctors can improve blood circulation and heart function through surgeries. But catching it early and getting treatment right away is crucial.

My 12yr old daughter has mentioned to be that she has IIrregular heartbeats asin she feel her heart skip a beat then speed up is that normal? From my understanding it is but I am just after advice.
Female | 12
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.

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.

My doctor diagnosed Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) during ECHO of my son. I want to know about the treatment of its?
Male | 11
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.

I have pregnancy of 23 weeks , after anomaly scan it was found that baby have right renal dysplasia and perimembranous vsd of 2mm ... What will be the chances that we have to conduct heart surgery of baby and how much risk is involved
Female | 29
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.

Female | 6
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.
