[QUOTE="Mamaof5, post: 453487"] Take it from someone who's dealt with cardio issues all her life, including with my youngest. EKG abnormalities don't always mean fatalities. It could be anything from MVP (mitral valve prolapse, most common cardiac abnormality usually can be left untreated if it's mild) to murmurs, PDA\LDA's (patent ductus arteriosis and latent ductus arteriosis which can be treated to close those holes within a fairly short time and mostly resolve on their own). It's great that it was found now rather than later because there are so many options to be looked at for resolving the cardiac issues. We've come a very very long way for cardiac treatments. Like Jal said, it could be a false positive, movement during an EKG can cause this. Fidgeting can cause a false positive, holding the breath for short periods or hyperventilating or even just quick intakes of breath. It may very well be nothing at all but a false positive. Did you know a sneeze stops the heart for a split second? Coughing causes the heart to beat harder (not faster just harder). Holding the breath causes the heart to speed up and breathing heavily (hyperventilation) slows the heart. Laughing causes the heart to either slow or hasten the rate at which it beats!!! It could be nothing at all. [/QUOTE]
