Pediatric Cardiologist
A healthy heart is essential for every child’s growth and development. Our specialized Pediatric Cardiologist service is dedicated to diagnosing, treating, and managing heart conditions in infants, children, and adolescents with compassion and expert care.
What is a Pediatric Cardiologist?
A Pediatric Cardiologist is a doctor who specializes in heart diseases and conditions affecting children from newborns to teenagers. Unlike adult cardiology, pediatric cardiology focuses on congenital heart defects, heart rhythm problems, and other cardiac disorders unique to the developing heart.
Services Offered
Our pediatric cardiology department provides a comprehensive range of services, including:
- Diagnosis and treatment of congenital heart defects (CHDs) such as atrial septal defects, ventricular septal defects, and patent ductus arteriosus
- Management of arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats)
- Evaluation and treatment of heart murmurs and valve disorders
- Monitoring children with acquired heart conditions like Kawasaki disease, cardiomyopathy, or rheumatic heart disease
- Non-invasive diagnostic tests such as ECG, Echocardiography, Holter monitoring, and Stress testing
- Pre-operative and post-operative cardiac care for children undergoing heart surgeries
Why Choose Our Pediatric Cardiologist?
Our team is committed to providing gentle and personalized care tailored to each child’s unique needs. We understand that heart conditions in children require a delicate approach combining medical expertise and emotional support for both the child and their family.
We use the latest advanced diagnostic technology to ensure accurate detection and treatment planning. Our Pediatric Cardiologist works closely with pediatric surgeons, intensivists, and other specialists to provide a multidisciplinary approach, ensuring the best possible outcomes.
