Tests required before and during consultation with a Pediatric Cardiac Surgeon are as follows:

  • Echocardiogram (Echo)
  • Chest X-ray
  • Electrocardiogram (ECG)
  • CT Scan / MRI of the Heart
  • Pulse Oximetry
  • Blood Tests (CBC, Coagulation Profile, Blood Group & Typing)
  • Cardiac Catheterization (if advised)

Diagnostic and screening tests play a crucial role in identifying the exact nature and severity of a congenital heart defect in your child. These tests help Dr. Dagar accurately evaluate the child’s cardiac anatomy, overall health, and readiness for the recommended surgical procedure or intervention — ensuring the safest and most effective treatment plan is prepared well in advance.
