PAEDIATRIC CARDIOLOGY

Paediatric cardiology concerns the diagnosis and medical therapy of congenital or acquired heart diseases in childhood, prenatal counselling for congenital heart diseases, prevention and treatment of arterial hypertension and ischemic heart disease in children.

There is great interest regarding newborns and infants with heart disease in the pre and post-operative phases, for the prevention of sudden death, for pregnant women affected by heart diseases, for paediatric patients with arrhythmias, cardiomyopathy and heart failure.

The Medical Centre has for many years now formed a close collaboration with other specialists in cardiology and paediatric cardiac surgeries.
