Yes.
Your child can certainly have an echocardiogram. That is usually ordered by the cardiologist. Typically, if they’re not in the heart murmurs, then an echocardiogram is not always indicated. It doesn’t usually help with arrhythmias, but may be something that the cardiologist would want to do to check on the heart function. An echocardiogram is safe. It’s just a type of ultrasound.
Yes he can. It is a painless test.
