Question
My son is 4yrs old and we have found that he has pulmonary stenosis (heart problem), but he is not facing any difficulties at the moment though you can hear some hissing sound (heart beats faster than normal) could you please suggest me the best solution for this
Answer
There are a couple of things that we need to know. 1) Has the 2 D Echo been done and if yes, is it an infundibular stenosis or a valvular stenosis? 2) What is the gradient across the valve? If the gradient is high, then he would require intervention in the form of balloon dilatation. Back to All Questions
