What is Diagnostic Paediatric Cardiology?

Diagnostic Paediatric Cardiology is a specialized area of medicine that focuses on diagnosing and treating heart conditions in infants, children and adolescents.

Cardiologists specializing in this field focus on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of heart conditions in young patients.

Diagnostic Paediatric Cardiology services typically include a thorough physical examination, an electrocardiogram (ECG) to measure the electrical activity of the heart, an echocardiogram (echo) to create a picture of the heart’s structure and function, and other tests to determine the cause of the heart condition.

Depending on the diagnosis, treatment may include medications, lifestyle and diet changes, or surgical intervention.
