I'm really concerned about my 6-month-old daughter who has a 4 mm perimembranous VSD. Is there a chance that this VSD will close on its own, or should I be worried about any complications?

I took an ECG and 2D Echo test today and got some numbers that are worrying me a bit. My EDV is 83ml, ESV is 28ml, and SV is 55ml, which apparently are below normal. Also, my IVSs ivsd LVPWD measurements were on the higher end of normal limits. Is this something I should be concerned about?

The values of EDV (End-Diastolic Volume), ESV (End-Systolic Volume), and SV (Stroke Volume) from your 2D Echo test indicate that your heart's pumping function may be below normal. The IVSs (Interventricular Septum thickness in systole), IVSd (Interventricular Septum thickness in diastole), and LVPWD (Left Ventricular Posterior Wall thickness in diastole) being on the higher end of normal limits may suggest some thickening of the heart walls. Based on these findings, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management. Depending on the underlying cause, they may recommend medications such as ACE inhibitors like Enalapril or Beta-blockers like Metoprolol to help improve your heart function. The dosage will vary based on your individual condition, so please consult your healthcare provider for personalized recommendations.

I've been getting this thumping sensation in my heart at pretty regular intervals, and every time it happens, I start feeling anxious. It's been going on for the past couple of days. Do you have any idea what might be causing it?

This sensation of a thump in your heart at regular intervals, along with feelings of anxiety, could be due to palpitations. Palpitations are feelings that your heart is pounding or racing. In some cases, palpitations can be caused by stress, anxiety, or stimulants like caffeine. However, it is important to rule out any underlying heart conditions. I recommend you to take Tab. Metoprolol 25mg once daily to help control the palpitations. It is important to follow up with a doctor for further evaluation and monitoring.
