What to do if enlarged aortic valve in a small child?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See a cardiologist: Your child needs to see a pediatric cardiologist. Size of the valve is only one consideration in evaluating and following up congenital heart disease. Follow-up ultrasounds will need to be performed to monitor the valve and overall function of the heart.
