Pediatric Cardiology

Paediatric Cardiology

Paediatric cardiology is a specialized branch of medicine that focuses on treating congenital and acquired heart diseases in infants, children, and adolescents. Since the structure and rhythm of a child’s heart differ from that of an adult, young patients are treated by paediatric cardiologists who are well-versed in general paediatrics and specialize in diagnosing and managing heart conditions in children.

Medcy is committed to providing exceptional medical care, which extends to our paediatric cardiology department. Our team of expert paediatric cardiologists employs a collaborative approach in developing customised treatment plans for children, delivering precise care using advanced equipment and facilities. We create a child-friendly, comforting environment for each patient, ensuring they are relaxed, happy, and supported throughout their healthcare journey.

Common Cardiac Diseases Among Children

Heart diseases are rare in children and vary greatly from those that affect adults. Children can experience various cardiac ailments, ranging from minor conditions that can be treated with medication to more serious ones that may require surgical intervention.

Congenital Heart Defects – Critical

Congenital heart defects are some of the most common cardiac ailments among children. They are heart abnormalities present at birth, affecting the heart’s structure, veins, arteries, and valves. An echocardiogram allows cardiologists to identify critical congenital heart defects among babies still in the womb. Other congenital heart diseases are diagnosed after birth. Critical congenital disabilities require surgery to treat the condition.

Congenital Heart Defects – Other

Other congenital cardiac diseases do not require immediate treatment and can resolve with time. For example, minor atrial septal defects can close on their own. Such defects are not critical and only need surgery if they are advanced in stage, interfering with daily life or larger in size.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are irregular heart rhythms that may be present from birth or acquired later. It is a disorder that makes the heart beat too slow, too fast or irregularly. Some arrhythmias, like premature contractions, are harmless. However, other forms of arrhythmias can be severe and require surgical interventions, including a pacemaker implant or medication.

Acquired Heart Diseases

Certain cardiac conditions may develop later in children. For example, Kawasaki Disease – a rare condition primarily affecting children – causes inflammation in the blood vessels, including the heart. These disorders require the expertise of a paediatric cardiologist to be treated in time and restore normalcy in life.
