Risk depends on the location of the defect,weather it is locatetd in dominant or non dominant area and is it causing PAH etc., repeat 2D echo after 6 months of age and follow your doctors advice

View allmy 55-day-old baby has been diagnosed with an 8mm vsd should we be considering surgery for this or is there another way to manage it
For a 55-day-old baby with an 8mm ventricular septal defect (VSD), the decision of whether to proceed with surgery or other management strategies depends on the baby's individual health status and the specific characteristics of the VSD. Surgery may be recommended if the VSD is causing significant symptoms, such as heart failure, or if the baby is not growing adequately, despite medical management. If the VSD is small and the baby is otherwise healthy, surgery might be delayed or even not needed, with regular follow-up and potentially medication to manage any symptoms.

What does it mean when an infant ECG report says "borderline ECG unconfirmed diagnosis"? Should I be worried about anything? The report mentions these numbers: RATE 65, PR 246, QRS 72, QT 479, and QTC 499. Could you help me understand if these are normal for an infant?
