The paediatric cardiac program at the Lifeline Hospital seeks to provide comprehensive and state-of-the-art services for children with heart ailments at affordable costs. The program will also cater to adults with congenital heart defects. All facets of paediatric heart care will be provided here.
A paediatric cardiologist is a paediatrician who has received extensive training in diagnosing and treating children's cardiac problems. Evaluation and treatment may begin with the foetus since heart problems can now be detected before birth.
While most children are able to play sports without any cardiac evaluation, a child who complains of palpitations, chest pain, recurrent dizziness or fainting, or has a family history of arrhythmias, sudden cardiac death or congenital heart disease should have a cardiac evaluation. This can also be discussed with the child’s paediatrician.
