Pediatricians and pediatric cardiologists use several diagnostic tools to examine the ventricular septum. The most common methods include:
Echocardiogram: An ultrasound of the heart to visualize the septum and check for any defects. Electrocardiogram (ECG): A test that measures the electrical activity of the heart and can indicate abnormalities in the heart structure. Cardiac MRI: Provides detailed images of the heart's structure, including the ventricular septum.
