What is Pediatric Cardiology?
Pediatric Cardiology focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of congenital and acquired heart conditions in infants, children, and adolescents. Children with heart issues require specialized care to manage their unique needs and support their overall health and development.
Congenital Heart Defects: These are heart problems present at birth, such as ventricular septal defect (VSD), atrial septal defect (ASD), and tetralogy of Fallot. Early detection and management are crucial for healthy development.
Arrhythmias: Irregular heartbeats or rhythms can be managed with our specialized care. We treat conditions like atrial fibrillation and bradycardia, ensuring your child’s heart beats in a healthy pattern.
Heart Murmurs: Often benign, heart murmurs can sometimes indicate underlying heart conditions. We provide thorough evaluations to determine their cause and significance.
Cardiomyopathy: This condition involves changes in the heart muscle, affecting its ability to pump blood effectively. We offer comprehensive treatment and monitoring for cardiomyopathy.
Hypertension: High blood pressure in children can lead to long-term health issues. We provide strategies for managing and reducing hypertension.
Acquired Heart Conditions: We treat heart conditions that develop after birth, such as rheumatic heart disease or myocarditis, ensuring timely and effective care.
