Can congenital heart disease be checked out by electrocardiogram

Congenital heart disease can not be detected by ECG.

ECG is based on the patient's heart electrical activity to check, and then determine whether the heart rate is abnormal and whether there is arrhythmia, can not observe the existence of heart structure lesions. Congenital heart disease is based on the internal structure of the heart to determine the condition, so it can not be detected by ECG.

It is recommended that patients go to the cardiovascular department of the hospital for echocardiography, magnetic resonance imaging, C-reactive protein determination and other tests to determine the condition.
