Our pediatric cardiology team routinely provides cardiac consultation and diagnostic cardiac imaging for children throughout our region who need evaluation for potential congenital or acquired heart disease.
Our board-certified and fellowship-trained pediatric cardiologists assess infants, children, and young adults with problems such as heart murmurs, chest pain, palpitations, or fainting spells.
Pediatric cardiology conditions
Pediatric cardiology conditions diagnosed and treated include:
- Congenital heart defects and murmurs
- Arrhythmia
- Chest pain
- Syncope (fainting)
Patients with the following documented diagnoses:
- Atrial and ventricular ectopy
- Tachycardia (both supraventricular and ventricular)
- Pathologic bradycardia
- Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome
- Unexplained QTc prolongation
- Inheritable channelopathies (Long QT Syndrome, Short QT Syndrome, Brugada Syndrome, Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia)
- Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy
- Risk stratification for sudden arrhythmogenic death in individuals with repaired tetralogy of Fallot, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and dilated cardiomyopathy
Patients with a family history of the following diagnoses:
- Unexplained sudden death (including Sudden Infant Death Syndrome)
- Inheritable channelopathies (Long QT Syndrome, Short QT Syndrome, Brugada Syndrome, Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia)
- Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy
