What causes a hole in the heart

2018-09-17 10:42:06
My baby is just 2 years old. He was having irregular heart beats. So after a series of investigations done it was found that he has a hole in his heart. What can be the cause of hole in heart? Is it because of anything in pregnancy? As such my pregnancy was uneventful.

Isolated congenital heart problems without any underlying cause do happen. Presence of hole and irregular heartbeat needs to be assessed in detail nd management is possible for such cases. Please consult ur pediatric cardiologist and follow the advice.
