Pediatric Cardiologist

A pediatric cardiologist is a doctor specialized in diagnosing and treating heart conditions in infants, children, and teenagers. They have extra training beyond regular pediatricians to understand how a child's heart works and to identify issues such as congenital heart defects, arrhythmias, or other heart-related problems. These specialists use various tests and exams to assess heart function and develop treatment plans, which may include medication, surgery, or other interventions. Their goal is to ensure that a child's heart develops normally and remains healthy, supporting their overall growth and well-being.
