A member asked:

Our 12 year old son has an enlarged right atrial. he has had episodes of blacking out and feeling lightheaded. recommended next steps?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

If you have not: taken him to cardiothoracic surgeon, please do so after consulting with his pediatric cardiologist. Your son will also need a pulmonology evaluation for lung disease, as one of the main causes for enlarged right atrium or ventricle is pulmonary hypertension from cystic fibrosis/ intrinsic lung disease.
