If the condition was prenatally diagnosed, the baby will be examined and attended to by our doctors immediately after birth and referred to a paediatric cardiologist after stabilisation.
Diagnostic procedures include echocardiography (heart ultrasound), various blood tests and a chest X-ray.
Serious conditions may require specific medications, respiratory support and urgent referral to cardiothoracic surgeons. For other cases, once diagnosis is confirmed via 2D echocardiography, the infant may be discharged with a follow-up appointment, with or without oral medication.
