The diagnosis of acyanotic CHD typically involves a combination of clinical evaluation, imaging, and other diagnostic tests. Common methods include:
Echocardiogram: Utilizes ultrasound waves to create images of the heart. Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG): Measures the electrical activity of the heart. Chest X-ray: Provides images of the heart and lungs to detect abnormalities. Cardiac MRI: Offers detailed images of the heart's structure and function. Cardiac Catheterization: Involves inserting a catheter into the heart to measure pressures and oxygen levels.
