Just found out my 3yr old.has a heart murmur asd im worried they told us to wait months to re due test . wat will waiting do y not do some thing now?

Heart murmur: As long as your child isnt showing any signs of heart failure you neednt worry. They are waiting until he is older to do a non invasive or invasive procedure to close the hole.

Safety: With many children's surgeries, the longer that the surgeons can wait (while the child is stable and growing), the easier the surgery will be. Having a bit more weight and a more stable immune system helps a lot with surgery. Your child's doctor will follow her closely and make sure that she is not becoming unstable.

Atrial Septal Defect: Or autistic spectrum disorder? A small atrial septal defect rarely requires an invasive diagnostic procedure or heart surgery in a child. If your child was unable to cooperate for the 1st echo, the pediatric cardiologist may want to re-check in 3 mos. To insure that blood flow across the ASD is not causing his heart to work harder. See: http:/www.Heart.Org/. Call the pede cardiologist to ask why.
