Pediatrics - Cardiology

Pediatric cardiology deals with the diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of heart diseases and abnormalities in newborns, children and adolescents. Heart problems in childhood require a special approach, gentleness in diagnostics and expertise in interpreting findings – to ensure safe growth and development.

When is it advisable to have a cardiological examination in children?

If the child tires easily or has difficulty with exertion

For frequent feelings of "heart palpitations" or irregular heartbeat

In case of chest pain, fainting or dizziness

If a child is born with a congenital heart defect (or there is a suspicion)

For heart murmurs observed during a pediatrician's examination

Before engaging in sports activities

In case of a positive family history of heart disease at a young age

As part of routine control for chronic diseases (diabetes, hypertension)
