What tests will be done to diagnose endocardial cushion defect?

These tests can diagnose endocardial cushion defect after a baby is born:

  • Electrocardiogram (EKG).
  • Echocardiogram.
  • Chest X-ray.
  • Heart MRI.
  • Cardiac catheterization.

Before your baby is born, your healthcare provider can do an ultrasound to check for ECD. If your provider wants a better look, they can ask for a fetal echocardiogram. Both of these tests use harmless sound waves to create images.
