About Paediatric Cardiology

Paediatric Cardiology is concerned with diagnosis and treatment of the children with heart conditions. As well as expertise in heart disease, paediatric cardiologists also need a thorough grounding in general paediatrics, in order to provide all-round patient care.

Dr. Kamakdhi Memorial Hospital Paediatric Cardiac Care offers state of art care and management of children with cardiac problems. This includes holistic care to the children in congenital heart disease (present at birth), arrhythmias (variations in heartbeat rhythm), disturbances of circulatory function, cardiac failure in infants and children, fetal cardiac abnormalities, therapeutic paediatric cardiac interventional procedures, complex neonatal surgical intercardiac repairs, minimally invasive intracardiac repairs and single ventricle palliative procedures.

We also provide outpatient screening and review of children or newborns with suspected congenital or acquired heart disease, including investigation of cardiac murmurs, dysrhythmias and chest pain.
