Cardiologist, Dr. Drilona Kenga's Response

Dear
I am sorry for the surgery your daughter had
You can check her current status by scheduling a heart echocardiography
Heartbeat are normal to be felt, nothing to worry about that
Effusion can persist after surgery, normally it needs some time to go away, you should control it by periodic echocardiography
Recidive is quit rare so I don't think you have reason to worry too much
Hope my answer helps you
Feel free to ask other questions
Best regards
Wiah you all the best
