For patients being considered for cardiac or transplant surgery, useful records include echocardiography, coronary angiography, CT or MR angiography where relevant, pulmonary-function testing and previous operative reports.

Treatment depends on anatomy, ventricular and lung function, previous surgery, age and comorbidities. Transplant or mechanical-support cases require additional multidisciplinary assessment, while neonatal and congenital cases depend on detailed anatomical imaging and paediatric cardiac review before a final surgical plan is selected.
