How are Neonatal Heart Disorders Diagnosed?

Early diagnosis is essential for effective management. Diagnostic methods include:
- Prenatal Ultrasound: Often, heart defects are detected during routine prenatal screenings.
- Echocardiogram: This is the most definitive tool for diagnosing structural heart issues.
- Pulse Oximetry: A non-invasive test that measures the oxygen levels in a newborn's blood.
- Electrocardiogram (ECG): This test measures the electrical activity of the heart and can help identify abnormalities.
