Does she have an asd or other congenital defect.  Perhaps pulmonary valve stenosis?

Unfortunately, Raj, there really is no way to answer your question as there can be so many variables. It is very important that your baby is followed by a good pediatric cardiologist and hopefully at a good medical facility. Direct these questions to her doctor and don't be shy about asking. Too many parents are afraid to ask, they sit at home to fear for the wellbeing of their child; many turn their children into 'cardiac cripples' when that should have never happened in the first place. The problem is most parents do not realize that their child's doctor is well aware of the fears that parents face and should accept those questions with compassion. I wish you the best.

RA stands for Right Atrium and RV stands for Right Ventricle. The chamber size in your daughter's heart is larger than it should be. The type of treatment would have to come from her Pediatric Cardiologist because treatments are sometimes given based on the symptoms the child is having.
