Hello doctor,
Currently, my baby is 3 months old. When I was pregnant, my baby's heart had echoes on the left ventricle. At birth, the baby's heart had an oval hole d = 4.6 mm left-right shunt, the doctor asked me, is it dangerous for a 3-month-old baby to have left ventricular echo and foramen ovale?

Hello,
To the question "Is it dangerous for a 3-month-old baby to have left ventricular echo and foramen ovale?", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Fetal echocardiography Left ventricular echo nodules are quite common. The general consensus is that most ICEFs are the normal anatomical variant. Your baby after birth with echocardiography recorded the existence of the foramen ovale. The foramen ovale (FO) is a common opening between the two chambers of the heart (the right atrium and the left atrium) of the fetal heart. This foramen ovale usually closes between 6 months and a year after birth. After birth, the foramen ovale remains open. This is called the foramen ovale. Most cases do not require treatment. However, you should take your baby to a cardiologist for specific monitoring and instructions to suit your baby's case.
If you still have questions about the newborn with heart disease with the oval hole, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wish you a lot of health.
Best regards!
