Pediatric Cardiology

What is Pediatric Cardiology?

Pediatric cardiology is the medical specialty focused on care for patients with congenital and acquired cardiac and cardiovascular abnormalities. Pediatric cardiologists evaluate and care for fetuses, newborn infants, infants, children, and adolescents and young adults with congenital heart disease.
