Diagnosis & Clinical Investigations of Great Arteries Transposition | Medical Case Discussion

Diagnosis and clinical investigation of Great Arteries Transposition (TGA) involves a multi-faceted approach to establish the nature of congenital heart defects and their severity. A physical examination is done to detect clinical signs, such as cyanosis and abnormal heart sounds. Healthcare providers employ diagnostic tools like electrocardiography and chest X-rays for initial assessments. Echocardiography is a pivotal imaging technique, which plays a central role in confirming the diagnosis, offering detailed insights into heart anatomy and blood flow patterns.

Additionally, advanced modalities like cardiac catheterization and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may be employed to gather more precise information about cardiac structures and blood vessels. Continuous monitoring of oxygen saturation levels helps evaluate potential oxygenation issues associated with TGA. Early detection through fetal echocardiography during pregnancy allows for timely preparation and planning for the management of TGA post-birth.
