Hello,your question is not very clear....your son has not yet had the echo cardiogram!
according to your post, but you mention left ventricular disease why?.Understandable as your worry is please try to hold on as your stress will only worry your boy more.

Genetic disease is not always passed on generation to generation,it can skip one or even two generations sometimes only one sex is affected, also it would be more helpful if you stated what symptoms if any he was having to prompt such an exam.
