Diagnosis typically involves a combination of: - Physical Examination: Listening for heart murmurs and checking for other physical signs. - Echocardiogram: An ultrasound of the heart to visualize its structure and function. - Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG): Measures the electrical activity of the heart. - Chest X-ray: To assess the size and shape of the heart and the surrounding structures. - Cardiac Catheterization: A procedure where a thin tube is inserted into a blood vessel and guided to the heart to gather more detailed information.
