Dear
when echo is normal there is nothing to worry. In ayurveda for irregular missing pulse arjun is the drug of choice. or you can use khamira gauzban a unani product as heart tonic.

Hi, welcome to healthcaremagic forum,
The cadiologist is right as he has seen the report and must have clinically examined the child.still if u have any doubt then u can take a second openion also if that matches the first openion then no need to worry about.Just be careful about any physical complaints up to the age of 14 years.Just get him to the cadiologist for screening only as suggested by him.
Take care
