Hi,

An echocardiography report can provide information about the structure and function of the heart. The results in your son's case indicate the presence of a 3.4 mm atrial septal defect (ASD) or a hole in the wall between the two upper chambers of the heart. This can cause a left-to-right shunt, meaning blood flows from the left to the right side of the heart.

The report also mentions normal right atrium and right ventricle function, mild tricuspid regurgitation (backflow of blood through the tricuspid valve), no pulmonary artery hypertension (high blood pressure in the pulmonary artery), normal pulmonary vein drainage, and good function of the left and right ventricles.

Whether or not the hole in your son's heart will close depends on various factors, such as the size and location of the defect and the presence of other medical conditions. In some cases, the hole may close spontaneously, while surgical closure may be necessary for others. Only a qualified medical professional can determine your son's best course of action based on a complete evaluation of his medical history, symptoms, and test results.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Priyanka, General & Family Physician
