Getting a correct diagnosis is, most of the time, not all that difficult anymore. Of course, you need to be seen by a Pediatric Cardiologist, a pediatric physician specifically trained in this field. Physical examination is often but not always very helpful. Echocardiography (click) will give you quite exact information after the 20th week of pregnancy. After the baby is born the echocardiogram will almost always tell you "the full story". Occasionally a heart catheter test is needed to evaluate the severity of the problem and to find associated problems which may not readily be detected by echocardiography. Chest x-rays and "EKGs" (electro- cardiograms) are additional means to evaluate the heart.
