How Are Neonatal Cardiac Issues Diagnosed?

Diagnosis typically involves several steps:
- Prenatal screening: Some heart defects can be detected before birth using ultrasounds.
- Echocardiogram: An ultrasound of the heart that provides detailed images of its structure and function.
- Electrocardiogram (ECG): A test that measures the electrical activity of the heart.
- Chest X-ray: Helps visualize the heart's size and shape.
- Pulse oximetry: Measures the oxygen level in the blood and can help identify cyanotic heart defects.
