- Interventional Procedures: Performing catheter-based procedures to correct certain heart defects or conditions.
- Care Coordination: Working closely with pediatric surgeons and other specialists for comprehensive care, including pre- and post-operative management.
Congenital Heart Defect Care:
- Early Detection: Screening and diagnosing congenital heart defects such as septal defects, tetralogy of Fallot, and coarctation of the aorta.

Conditions We Treat
Congenital Heart Defects
- Atrial Septal Defect (ASD): A hole in the wall between the two upper chambers of the heart (atria) that can cause blood to flow between the atria, potentially leading to heart enlargement and pulmonary issues.
- Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD): A hole in the wall separating the lower chambers of the heart (ventricles), which can cause oxygen-rich and oxygen-poor blood to mix, leading to heart strain and potential complications.
- Pulmonary Stenosis: A narrowing of the outflow tract from the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery, which can restrict blood flow to the lungs and lead to symptoms like fatigue and chest pain.
Arrhythmias
- Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT): An abnormally fast heart rate originating above the ventricles, which can cause palpitations, dizziness, and shortness of breath.
- Ventricular Tachycardia (VT): A rapid heart rate originating from the ventricles, potentially leading to serious complications such as fainting or heart failure.
- Bradycardia: An unusually slow heart rate that can result in symptoms like fatigue, dizziness, and fainting, requiring careful management to ensure adequate heart function.
Heart Failure
- Management of Symptoms: Addressing symptoms such as shortness of breath, swelling, and fatigue through medications, lifestyle changes, and other interventions.
- Underlying Causes: Treating the root causes of heart failure, which may include congenital defects, cardiomyopathy, or other heart conditions, to improve overall heart function and quality of life.
Hypertension
- Diagnosis and Treatment: Identifying and managing high blood pressure in children, which can impact cardiovascular health and lead to complications if left untreated.
- Lifestyle and Medication: Implementing lifestyle modifications, such as dietary changes and increased physical activity, along with medications when necessary, to control blood pressure and prevent long-term health issues.
