Services
Pediatric Cardiology
Our pediatric cardiology services diagnose and treat congenital heart defects, rhythm disorders, and acquired cardiac conditions in children. We provide comprehensive evaluations through physical exams, advanced imaging, and diagnostic testing. Our board-certified specialists develop personalized treatment plans while ensuring family education and support throughout the care process.
Fetal Echocardiography
This specialized ultrasound evaluates fetal heart structure and function between 18-24 weeks gestation. We detect congenital heart abnormalities to enable early intervention planning. The non-invasive test helps identify risks for families with genetic predispositions or maternal health concerns affecting fetal cardiac development.
Cardiac Catheterization
We perform diagnostic and interventional cardiac catheterizations under anesthesia to measure heart pressures and correct structural defects. Our specialists use minimally invasive techniques to close heart holes, repair valves, and open narrowed vessels without open-heart surgery, enabling faster recovery for pediatric patients.
Heart Rhythm Monitoring
Our rhythm monitoring services include Holter monitors and event recorders to track irregular heartbeats over extended periods. These portable devices help diagnose intermittent arrhythmias by recording cardiac activity during daily life, enabling accurate assessment of rhythm disturbances in children.
Family Conferences
We offer dedicated family meetings to discuss complex diagnoses, treatment options, and prenatal heart condition management. These sessions provide in-depth explanations of test results and care plans while addressing family concerns in a supportive, private setting with our pediatric cardiologists.
