My friend just had her baby 5 weeks early by emergency C--?

she is diabetic and 38 years old. (high risk)


Her pregnancy was followed super-close and she had a zillion ultrasounds. Her little guy was 6.5 pounds but has a heart issue of some sort that wasn't detected in any of her sonos. Thickening of something, not sure-- the details were not from the source, but from the husband to the grandma to the sister and the diagnosis has been "lost in translation". Do you know what this is?? Anyone?Thanks.

Maybe a congenital heart defect which will eventually lead to thickening of the heart lining: http://www.cnn.com/HEALTH/library/CC/000...
Reply:It could be cardiomyopathy - an illness where the heart tissue becomes inflamed and enlarged. Here's a site with more information: http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.j...
Reply:I have never heard of that. I'm trying to look it up.





EDIT: I cant find anything on it. Sorry I hope someone knows.
