Brief Answer:
Please provide further information. Upload reports of 2D echo

Detailed Answer:
Hello Sir,

I can understand your concerns.

Enlarged heart reversibility or durability depends on the underlying cause.

I can guide you better if you can tell me if there is any associated congenital heart or lung disease.

For this clarification, I request you to upload the echocardiogram of her.

This can help me to formulate an accurate hypothesis and guide you appropriately.

As of now the oxygen saturation is maintained well at 95% on ventilation.

Post your further queries if any.

Thank you.
