Not necessarily.: a good echocardiographic study is required, if a murmur has been heard or you have a close relative affected..

No: EKG and bloodwork alone will miss many common congenital heart problems. What make you think something's wrong? Can you keep up in sports? Do you have an abnormal heart sound?
