Should my son with EDS get a cardiac consultation?
Hi. My 15 year old son, was recently diagnosed with eds. He has unsteady gait when walking. His doctor wants to rule out vascular eds which can affect his heart valves. Do you think a cardiac consultation is really necessary. When I use the oximeter his pulse seems to be slighly elevated. He was diagnosed with epilesy a year ago.

Answered on 7th Dec '24
Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) can cause the blood vessel to be unstable, therefore cardiac evaluation is of utmost importance to assess any damage that might have been inflicted on the heart's valves. A faster pulse rate is a possibility that the body is experiencing some strain; however, it is best to talk about these findings with a healthcare provider. They, in turn, will be able to issue clear, tailored advice to the patient, and if required, will set up a specialist consultation. Carrying this out at an early stage can considerably help in dealing with the symptoms.

Dr. Bhaskar Semitha
Cardiac Surgeon
Answered on 30th Oct '24
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.

Answered on 5th July '24
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.

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.

Answered on 25th June '24
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.

Dr. Bhaskar Semitha
Cardiac Surgeon
Answered on 25th June '24
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.

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.

Do I Need Baby's Heart Surgery for Renal Dysplasia?
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
Dr. Bhaskar Semitha
Cardiac Surgeon
Answered on 25th June '24
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.
