Best time for baby heart screening

There is no clear clinical optimal time for infant heart screening. Infant heart screening is usually performed at the third month of life.

Infant heart screening is a test used to detect heart disease early to determine whether the baby's heart structure and function are normal. Generally, heart screening is performed at the third month of life because doctors can detect most heart problems during this time. During the examination, the doctor will use a stethoscope to check for heart murmurs or abnormal rhythms, and can also assess potential heart problems by looking at factors such as baby color, breathing, and activity levels.

If parents are concerned about baby heart abnormalities or suspect problems, consult a cardiologist for more information and advice.
