How can I tell if my child is suffering from a heart condition?
assistant
The most common way to diagnose a heart condition in children is through a physical exam. A doctor will likely ask questions about the child's symptoms, such as chest pain or shortness of breath, and may perform an electrocardiogram (EKG) or echocardiogram to assess the heart's function. If any irregularities are detected, further testing may be recommended.
