About paediatric cardiology
Patients are often referred to a paediatric cardiologist following the suspicion of heart disease from either clinical signs such as cyanosis (blueness), after the detection of heart murmurs in children, or due to symptoms such as breathlessness and poor weight gain. A family history of heart problems in siblings or relatives is also often a reason for review.
Congenital heart disease in children may be managed in the clinic without the need for interventional procedures or child heart surgery. If these are required, the care plan created will provide direct access to the best paediatric interventional and surgical doctors in the country.
