Diagnosis

Echocardiography is the primary method to diagnose a divided atrium. The transthoracic two dimensional echocardiography is usually aided by transesophageal echocardiogram for further evaluation. MRI provides a better spatial resolution and tissue contrast as compared to echocardiogram. MRI is said to have higher sensitivity than echocardiogram and angiography.
