Clinical Pediatrics

Pediatric Cardiology

Pediatric cardiologists are heart doctors who work with children. Their practice is different from that of heart doctors who treat adults. Pediatric cardiologists primarily treat problems with a child’s heart's structure or rhythm. A Pediatric cardiologist will work with your child's regular pediatrician or another primary care provider. Pediatric cardiologists don’t do surgery. If your child needs an operation, you’ll need to see a children's heart surgeon.
