Is Heart Defect Common In Teens?
Can heart defect in a child be found as a teen? How common is this. My 16 year old had an EKG that shows PVC's and has frequent attacks of being light headed and nearly blacking out. They did the EKG cause of chest pain that happened at school along with pain in both arms.
