9. Diagnosis
As mentioned, many patients will not experience any symptoms and they can go throughout their lives without being aware of the condition. If the patient is showing symptoms, however, then medical professionals will want to conduct tests to help them understand what the problem is.
One of the most common methods is to use a well-known piece of medical equipment, the stethoscope. This will help the doctor to hear what is happening with the heart better. In many cases, an echo-cardiogram, which is a type of ultrasound, will also be used to get an accurate picture of what is happening in the heart.
