Specialized Heart Care for Children
Pediatric cardiology focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of heart conditions in newborns, infants, children, and adolescents. Children are not just small adults—cardiac issues in pediatric patients often differ significantly from those seen in older individuals, and require specialized care. At our center, we provide comprehensive cardiac evaluation using tools like Echocardiography (ECHO) and Electrocardiography (ECG) to assess the heart’s structure and rhythm. These non-invasive procedures help detect abnormalities early, enabling timely intervention and management. Whether it’s a heart murmur, chest pain, or fainting spells, our experienced pediatric cardiologists ensure accurate diagnosis and tailored treatment plans.
Diagnosis and Management of Congenital and Functional Heart Conditions
We specialize in managing congenital heart defects (CHDs)—conditions a child may be born with, such as septal defects, valve abnormalities, or more complex syndromes that affect heart development and function. Many of these conditions can be detected before birth or soon after delivery, and early diagnosis is crucial for the best outcomes. In addition, we use Impulse Oscillometry, a non-invasive lung function test ideal for children, to evaluate how heart conditions might be impacting respiratory function. For conditions that require surgical correction, we offer coordinated care through collaboration with cardiovascular surgeons, ensuring a multidisciplinary approach that prioritizes the safety and long-term well-being of your child.
Preventive and Long-Term Cardiac Care
Beyond treating existing heart problems, we place strong emphasis on preventive cardiology—helping children and families adopt heart-healthy lifestyles early on. This includes managing risk factors such as obesity, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and sedentary habits that could contribute to cardiovascular disease later in life. Our team offers personalized guidance on nutrition, physical activity, and monitoring, especially for children with a family history of heart disease. From birth through adolescence, our goal is to support each child’s cardiac health through continuous monitoring, compassionate care, and cutting-edge diagnostic tools, laying the foundation for a healthier future.
