What Is Ventricular Problems?

My 9 year old had a screening EKG in order to be prescribed an ADD medication and the results were not normal. My son is adopted from Guatemala and I know nothing of his family's medical history or the nirth mother's behavior during pregnancy. The report indicated soemthing about possible ventircular problems and an emlargement or thieckening of the heart. I did not see the report, the neirologist who ordered the EKG read it to me over the phone. I am taking him to see a pediatric cardiologist next week,but in the meantime, I am wondering how much to worry. (My son appears healthy, is of average height and below average weight.)

Hi There
I understand your concern for your son and I would like to tell you that it was just an EKG machine assessment that's mostly not correct so don't worry there is good possibility that your sons heart will be fine. Let him get evaluated by a paediatric cardiologist till then relax.

I wish him good health
