Expert Care for Children’s Heart Conditions
The Paediatric Cardiology service at Sitaram Bhartia Institute of Science and Research provides evaluation, diagnosis, treatment planning, and long-term follow-up for infants, children, and adolescents with congenital and acquired heart conditions.
A child’s heart begins developing early during pregnancy and continues to grow and adapt through childhood. While many children have healthy hearts, some may be born with congenital heart defects or develop heart-related concerns later in life. Early diagnosis, timely treatment, and regular follow-up can help children receive the right care at the right time.
Our paediatric cardiology team works closely with paediatricians, neonatologists, obstetricians, foetal medicine specialists, anaesthetists, cardiac surgeons, and other specialists whenever multidisciplinary care is required.
The focus is on evidence-based, family-centred care that helps parents understand their child’s condition, available treatment options, follow-up needs, and long-term heart health.
