Children’s cardiology

Dealing with the diagnosis and management of all heart problems in babies or children up to 18 years of age.

Patients are often referred to a paediatric cardiologist following the suspicion of heart disease from either clinical signs such as cyanosis (blueness), after the detection of heart murmurs in children or due to symptoms such as breathlessness and poor weight gain. A family history of heart problems in siblings or relatives is also often a reason for review.

Please note that we do not provide a paediatric intensive care unit at Cromwell Hospital. However, any deteriorating child will be quickly assessed and stabilised by a Resident Medical Officer (RMO) trained in paediatric intensive care, supported by an on-call Paediatric Intensive Care Consultant, before being transferred to the most appropriate paediatric intensive care provider by the Children’s Acute Transport Service (CATS).
