And what has the boy's doctor said when you brought it to their attention?

 

[S.S]

Actually his heart beat increased suddenly while playing and he had been admitted to the ICU in serious condition.It was a sheer luck that he is still alive.
After that the incident happened once more within a month.Further check ups revealed that his auricles were ineffectively pumping blood to the ventricles.

 

[S.S]

I was just wondering why this is happening to him and is it life threatening?If so what can be the possible ways to minimize it?
