Heart Care

  Some children are born with a heart condition (congenital heart disease) or develop heart problems during childhood. Our board-certified pediatric cardiologists are specially educated to diagnose and treat heart conditions in children, including heart murmurs, abnormal heart rhythms, fainting or chest pain. If your child has one of these conditions, we can provide the best care close to home.

Your child’s care will include tests to diagnose a heart condition (these include electrocardiograms and exercise stress tests) and to measure how well the heart is working. A cardiologist will then work with you and your child’s pediatrician or family medicine physician to determine the best treatment for your child. Treatment plans consider the type and severity of your child’s heart condition.

If your child needs surgery, we work closely with other children’s hospitals to make sure your child gets the best treatment for his heart condition.
