Pediatric Cardiology and Congenital Heart Disease
- Diagnosis and treatment of infants, children, and adolescents with known or suspected congenital heart disease, acquired heart disease, cardiomyopathy, arrhythmia, and syncope
- Evaluation of pediatric patients at risk for development of cardiovascular disease for reasons including a positive family history, a history of chemotherapy, or existence of a disease or genetic condition associated with the development of cardiovascular complications (such as sickle cell disease and Duchenne muscular dystrophy)
- Specific cardiovascular conditions managed include:
- Aortic Arch Anomalies
- Aortic Stenosis
- Atrial Septal Defect
- Atrioventricular Septal Defect
- Coarctation Of The Aorta
- Dilated Cardiomyopathy
- Endocarditis
- Heart Valve Disease
- Heterotaxy Syndromes
- Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
- Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome
- Kawasaki Disease
- Marfan Syndrome
- Patent Ductus Arteriosus
- Pericarditis
- Pulmonary Stenosis
- Supraventricular Tachycardia
- Tetralogy Of Fallot
- Ventricular Septal Defect
- Ventricular Tachycardia
- Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome
- Others
- Conditions diagnosed in pediatric patients may be followed well into adulthood.
Fetal Cardiology Evaluation and Diagnoses
- Arrhythmias
- Cardiomyopathies
- Atrioventricular Septal Defect
- Tricuspid Atresia
- Pulmonary Atresia
- Transposition Of The Great Arteries
- Tetralogy Of Fallot
- Aortic Stenosis
- Pulmonary Stenosis
- Truncus Arteriosus
- Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome
- Double Outlet Right Ventricle
- Complex Single Ventricle
- Others
We routinely perform an electrocardiogram (EKG) for new pediatric cardiology patients. Echocardiograms, exercise stress test/stress echo, and Holter/event monitor testing are also available when necessary for the initial or ongoing evaluation and treatment of the patient. Fetal echocardiograms are performed on all fetal cardiology patients.
