PAEDIATRICS CARDIOLOGY

Pediatric cardiology is a specialized area of medicine focused on diagnosing and treating heart problems in children, from infancy through adolescence. Children can have congenital heart defects (present at birth), or develop acquired heart conditions. Pediatric cardiologists use various tests like echocardiograms and EKGs to assess heart health. They manage issues such as abnormal heart rhythms, heart failure, or structural abnormalities, often working closely with families to provide tailored treatments. The goal is to ensure children grow, develop, and live healthy lives by maintaining optimal heart function.
