Pediatric Cardiology

The Pediatric Cardiology Department at Medical Park Hospitals provides diagnostic and therapeutic services for heart conditions in fetuses, infants, children, and adolescents up to 18 years of age. Our team specializes in the management of congenital heart diseases, acquired heart diseases, and cardiac rhythm disorders.

Common reasons for referral include murmurs, cyanosis, reduced exercise capacity, chest pain, palpitations, dizziness, fainting, or high blood pressure. Diagnosis is supported by advanced methods such as electrocardiography (ECG), chest X-rays, echocardiography (ECHO), fetal echocardiography, exercise testing, Holter monitoring, cardiac catheterization, and angiography.

Conditions We Manage

• Congenital heart diseases: structural abnormalities present at birth, such as atrial septal defect (ASD), ventricular septal defect (VSD), valve malformations, and vessel stenosis.

• Acquired heart diseases: including rheumatic valve disorders, infections affecting the heart, and inflammatory conditions.

• Rhythm disorders: irregular or abnormal heartbeats such as tachycardia, bradycardia, or arrhythmias.

• Hypertension and chest pain in children: evaluation and management of elevated blood pressure or unexplained chest pain.

• Syncope and palpitations: investigation of fainting spells or abnormal heart rhythms in children and adolescents.
