Pediatric cardiology

Some heart problems are detected at birth while other problems develop over time. If your child’s been diagnosed with a heart problem, our board-certified pediatric cardiologists have the knowledge and resources to help your child get well.

Our experts provide comprehensive care for infants, children, teens and adults. With clinics located throughout the greater Chicagoland area, you’re sure to receive world-class care close to home.

What is the pediatric cardiology clinic?

It’s natural to feel anxious about visiting a cardiologist. That’s why we do our best to reduce that stress by focusing on you and your child’s needs first.

At the pediatric heart clinic, our board-certified cardiologists are experts at diagnosing and treating a range of heart problems for children of all ages from before birth into young adulthood. When your child becomes an adult, we have a team of cardiologists who specialize in the care of adults with congenital heart disease.

What to expect from the pediatric cardiology clinic

When you come into our clinic, our expert cardiologists will meet with you to discuss your child’s concerns and medical history. We might recommend further testing such as an EKG or echocardiogram to diagnose heart problems. This testing usually can be done in the clinic during your visit. With the testing results in hand, your child’s cardiologist will review the findings with you and discuss any treatment needed.

Conditions we treat

Our cardiologists take care of patients for a wide variety of common conditions including:

• Heart murmurs
• Chest pain
• Irregular heartbeats
• Palpitations
• Fainting

We’ll discuss the best course of treatment to meet your child’s needs which might include medication, heart procedures or surgery.
