    What Conditions Do Pediatric Cardiologists Treat?

    Pediatric cardiologists can treat different types of heart conditions in children, including congenital and acquired heart problems. Certain heart conditions, like cardiomyopathy, could be both congenital or acquired.

    The common heart conditions treated by a pediatric cardiologist may include:

    Congenital Heart Problems

    These are heart conditions that a person is born with. It may include structural deformities, like heart valve problems, holes in the heart, and other heart problems. While some congenital heart conditions can be treated with surgical procedures, other conditions may need life-long care.

    Some common congenital heart disorders treated by a pediatric cardiologist may include:

    • Aortopathy: It refers to any condition that affects the aorta, which is the largest artery in the body and carries blood from the heart to other body parts.
    • Aortic regurgitation: It is a heart valve disease in which the aortic valve fails to close properly, resulting in the leakage of blood back into the heart.
    • Pulmonary stenosis: In this condition the pulmonary valve of the heart becomes narrow or thickened, making it difficult for the blood to flow from the heart to the lungs.
    • Atrial septal defect: This condition refers to the presence of a hole between the upper chambers of the heart.
    • Cardiomyopathy: It is a disease that affects the heart muscle (myocardium).
    • Coarctation of the aorta: It refers to the narrowing of the aorta, making it difficult for the blood to flow through it.
    • Transposition of the great arteries: It is a rare and serious heart condition in which the two main arteries that leave the heart get reversed.
    • Patent foramen ovale: It is a condition in which there is a small hole between the right and left upper heart chambers, allowing blood to flow between them.
    • Hypoplastic left heart syndrome: It is a severe and rare type of congenital heart defect in which the left side of the heart remains underdeveloped.

    Acquired Heart Problems

    Acquired heart conditions develop over time. Certain acquired heart conditions could become so serious that they may need a heart transplant procedure.

    Some common acquired heart conditions that are managed by a pediatric cardiologist may include:

    • Cardiac arrhythmias: These are conditions in which the heart beats too slowly, too fast, or irregularly.
    • Cardiomyopathy: It is a disease affecting the heart muscle.
    • Heart failure: It is a condition in which the heart does not pump enough blood to meet the needs of the body.
    • Myocarditis: It refers to the inflammation of the heart muscle or myocardium.
    • Cardiac syncope: It is the sudden loss of consciousness or fainting when the heart fails to pump enough blood to the brain.
    • Hypertension: This condition develops when the blood flow through the arteries is too intense. The condition could develop throughout the body (systemic hypertension) or in some body areas, such as the lungs (pulmonary hypertension).
    • Kawasaki disease: It is a severe, rare condition that leads to the inflammation of blood vessels throughout the body.
