Echo cardiograph


This test Showed that Raphael has an Atrial Septal Defect (ASD). “Two small shunts”; this is not a serious problem but will probably worth while revisiting when he is older as it may repair itself. It was lucky that this was found because no doctor has been able to hear his heart this far because of his really loud breathing and the echo cardiograph was actually only being performed to look at the arteries that were surrounding his oesophagus to check if they were squeezing in.
