Pediatric Cardiology


Pediatric Cardiologists are specialists in treating heart problems in children, for those who might need heart surgery, pediatric cardiologists work closely with surgeons to determine the best treatments.
There are several heart conditions which can affect children. Some are structural differences they are born with. Others involve the electrical system that controls the heartbeat.



Types of Heart Disease in Children
Many different types of heart problems can affect children. Some of them are discussed below

      1.  Congenital heart disease

Congenital heart disease (CHD) is a type of heart disease that children are born with which is usually caused by heart defects that are present at birth.

2.  Atherosclerosis

Atherosclerosis is the term which is to describe the buildup of fat and cholesterol-filled plaques inside arteries. As there is an increase in buildup, the arteries become stiffened and narrowed, which gains the risk of blood clots and heart attacks. It takes many years for atherosclerosis to develop. It’s unusual for children or teenagers to suffer from it.

      3.  Arrhythmias

An arrhythmia is an abnormal rhythm of the heart. This can cause the heart to pump less efficiently.
There are many other different types of arrhythmias may occur in children, including:
           Fast heart rate (tachycardia)
           Slow heart rate (bradycardia)
           Long Q-T Syndrome (LQTS)
           Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome (WPW syndrome)

4.  Kawasaki disease

Kawasaki disease is a rare disease which can cause inflammations in the blood vessels in their hands, feet, mouth, lips, and throat, fever and swelling in the lymph nodes. Children who are suffering from this disease are often require lifelong follow-up appointments to keep an eye on heart health.

5.  Heart murmurs

A heart murmur is a “whooshing” sound which is made by blood circulating through the heart’s chambers or valves. Sometimes it may signal an underlying cardiovascular problem.
Heart murmurs might be caused by CHDs, fever, or anemia. If a doctor hears an abnormal heart murmur in a child, they will make tests to be sure that the heart is healthy.
