A member asked:
Please tell me, could congenital heart defects be diagnosed later on in life?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The severe cases are diagnosed in kids. I have patients whose foramen ovale defects are diagnosed only now in their fifties, and only after an event that forces us to search deep into the problem. They were not diagnosed with usual echo and stress tests and thallium. So the answer is yes.
