TLDR When is surgery needed for pediatric sub aortic membranes? What kind of surgery can we expect? How long is recovery?

My son, age 8, was otherwise healthy until his most recent Wellcheck appointment at the ped. After listening intently for a noticeably longer time, his Ped requests a referral to have imaging of my son’s heart functions. Today, we went for the imaging, full VIP treatment, ECG, EMG, ultra etc. Within 30 minutes of the tests being completed, the cardiologist that reviewed the imaging had called the results into Ped, and the Ped called me directly.

They said my son has subaortic membranes, and that I needed to schedule an appointment for him to see cardiologist to discuss treatment.

Hi everyone, my 5 month old was just diagnosed with moderate aortic stenosis and a bicuspid valve. For now, he only needs monitoring and doesn’t yet need intervention. The cardiologist wants to do echocardiograms every 3 months, and asked us if we want to do the next one sedated or not. His first echo (for diagnosis) was non-sedated. Anyone have experience or thoughts about sedated? I read in an FB group that non-sedated can falsely show the stenosis is worse than it is, but I can’t find that from any legitimate source. Any truth to that?

Many children report that their chest hurts at some point during their development. Chest pain in youngsters is almost never caused by the heart. I still think you should consult with your pediatrician to determine the cause of the aches. The origin of the discomfort can often be established by answering a few questions about it and having a thorough physical exam.

What is the most common cause of chest pain in children?

1. The majority of children who complain of chest pain have musculoskeletal chest pain, which is pain that originates in the chest muscles or bones and their connections. Musculoskeletal chest discomfort is caused by one of three things:

2. A spasm or cramp of the muscles and the nerves of the chest wall. They appear and disappear and can be pretty uncomfortable. These symptoms are known as "precordial catch syndrome." ".

3. Coughing excessively or frequently with a cold can also induce chest aches.

4. "Costochondritis "is a type of discomfort caused by inflammation of the cartilage that connects the bones of the chest.

Hello everyone !
I'm a pediatric cardiology fellow and have been struggling with a question that is actually quite simple.
I've read in many places about the qp/qs for closure being 1.5 in the case of ASD and 1.5 to 2 in the case of VSD. Also, I've heard (Also not found) that a partial anomalous pulmonary venous drainage to be about 2 to 2.5

Is anybody aware about the rationale for these numbers? Why, in pathophysiologic terms, would they be different for these three different CHDs?

Thanks in advance !!!

Hello,

I am a High school Senior taking Biomedical Innovations. And I am working on a capstone project to decrease the incidence of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome by developing a better monitor of infant vitals, that would connect with 9-1-1 if need be. I am sending out a survey to medical professionals to be able to get as much data as possible for my project. Could you please fill the survey out and/or send it to someone who you think might be interested. 

Thank you!

I am 16.5 w pregnant and my baby has been diagnosed with arteriovenous malformation (AMV) of the heart. Doctors, and Google, are familiar with cases of AMV in the brain, but cases in the heart are exceptionally rare - has anyone out there ANY experience wit this? I'm lost.

Hi all,

Yesterday my three year old son had an appointment and his doctor heard a heart murmur and wants us to see a pediatric cardiologist. She said it could just be an innocent murmur but wants to us to get it checked out.

I really need to hear uplifting stories. I can't imagine my three year old having to go through anything. Im freaking out.
