Answer
Hello. With the above results, the doctor thinks you are suffering from a congenital heart disease called tetralogy of Fallot (wide ventricular septal defect, aorta riding up to the interventricular septum, right ventricular outflow tract stenosis, right ventricular thickening). This is the most common type of congenital heart disease in children with early cyanosis. In terms of prognosis, the disease depends very much on the specific congenital heart damage and the postoperative outcome, the complications over time.
Therefore, you need to see a cardiologist for more specific advice on the question of echocardiography, is it okay to see the ventricular septal defect and the aorta riding on the interventricular septum? You can go to the hospitals of Vinmec Health System to get more advice from doctors. Remember to bring your or your loved one's ultrasound results or previous exam information with you.
