Symptoms & Diagnosis of congenital heart disease

Congenital heart defects are often diagnosed in infancy or even before birth. But some defects are harder to detect than others and may not be diagnosed until much later in childhood or even adulthood.
Surgeons will take your medical history and perform a physical examination. We may also order an ECG, chest x-ray, 2 D Echo and some blood test.

For the children, severe heart disease becomes evident during the few months of birth. Some babies are blue and very low blood pressure shortly after birth. Others defects causes breathing difficulty, feeding problems, or poor weight gain.
