Paediatric Cardiology is a medical specialty that prevents and treats heart diseases from birth to teenagers. In these age groups, cardiac pathologies have unique characteristics and develop differently than in adults, requiring a custom approach.
Common Paediatric Cardiology diseases include heart murmur, arrhythmia, heart failure, myocardial infarction, and congenital heart conditions. Regular Paediatric Cardiology consultations can also benefit children with Down Syndrome as they are more likely to develop heart problems.
The auxiliary diagnostic exams performed in Paediatric Cardiology are similar to those designed for adults.
