Hello,
Thank you for your query.
In order to answer your question better, I need to know a few more details.
1. What is the exact diagnosis of congenital heart disease?
2. Can you upload your latest ECG (electrocardiogram), echo report and if possible, chest x-ray image to the query page?
You have a feature to upload the reports / image by yourself at the right side of the query page, please utilize that so that I can answer your queries better.
3. What is the serum uric acid level?

Awaiting your response.
