==Echocardiography==
The following can be used to help diagnose cyanotic congenital heart disease:
 
*[[ECG]]
Echocardiography ,including imaging, and pulsed and color Doppler provides a definitive diagnosis of CHD with information on cardiac anatomy and function.
*Looking at the heart structure and blood vessels using [[echocardiogram]] or MRI of the heart
 
Indications:
* Central [[cyanosis]] who has failed a hyperoxia test or has an equivocal result
* [[Blood pressure]] or pulse differential between upper and lower extremities
