Brief Answer:
A congenital heart abnormality is described
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
On this echo report a congenital abnormality is described, when there is incorrect arrangement of heart chambers (atria) and there is a shunt between 2 other chambers, which usually is not there normally. But your report is not in detailed, I would advise you to have another echocardiogram in a experienced hospital, where is pediatric cardiology and surgery.
Hope this was helpful
Wishing a good health to your son
In case of further questions don't hesitate to ask

Brief Answer:
Welcome back
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
At first you need more detailed echo from pediatric experienced echocardiographer.
Your doctor has a suspicion of VSD, which is congenital abnormality. And if it is confirmed by the second doctor, you need to see a cardiac surgeon and depending the parameters of the VSD, they will tell you if there is a need for surgery or not.
If the child has no complains, don't worry, but don't wait and do have a second echo done.
Take care
