Pediatric Cardiology & Surgery

Congenital heart disease occurs in around 1% of newborns or asymptomatic adults. Certain types of congenital heart diseases must be treated in early childhood without delay, whilst certain types are asymptomatic allowing treatment to be postponed until later on in life. The most common congenital heart diseases are atrial septal defect (a defect in the wall separating of the right and left upper heart chambers), ventricular septal defect (a defect in the wall separating the right and left lower heart chambers), abnormal inter-connection of blood vessels and many other types which can be surgically corrected.

Pediatric cardiologists carry out initial evaluations and provide recommendations for treatment.
