Brief Answer:
The heart isn’t functioning normally!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this abnormal findings that you have reported. For sure there are issues with the heart and do not represent just normal wear and tear changes though wear and tear is a major contributing factor. I will like that she gets evaluated by a cardiologist to pinpoint the exact problem and make a formal diagnosis that can allow for treatment. Has she been seen by a cardiologist? If not, talk to her doctors and let her been visited by one of them.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Above all, thanks for using our services.
