A chest x-ray is the most basic of diagnostic tools. It shows only a basic outline of the heart. I would think that if they are looking at issues that involves heart muscle and valves then they would need to do ultrasounds, echos and EKGs in order to determine whether or not she possessed the malformations described in this disorder. Or to pinpoint where the issue is if they do not find them. They may also want to do MRIs and hopefully you will get answers quickly
