Pediatric Cardiology
Care you can trust
We normally associate heart disease with older patients, but the truth is that these conditions can occur in people at any age. Young children can be especially vulnerable to heart disease and incisive, insightful treatment is required to help these patients overcome their condition. Our facilities successfully treat thousands of pediatric cardiology patients every year and continue to offer an expanding spectrum of different services and resources for these families at this critical time.
Our pediatric cardiology services
No two children are alike and our approach to pediatric cardiology ensures that every patient receives the care that is personalized just for them. We are dedicated to using state-of-the art diagnostic technology to evaluate our patients’ hearts and determine which course of treatment will have the biggest positive impact on their health.
At RWJBarnabas Health, our diagnostic capabilities include:
- EKG analysis
- Cutting-edge echocardiogram equipment
- Exercise and stress tests
- Cardiac consultations
Our facilities are also equipped to assist soon-to-be mothers with children who may be experiencing a cardiac complication while in utero with fetal echocardiogram testing. If a child has already been born and needs specialized care, our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) can provide the needed monitoring and treatment.
No matter what our patients' circumstances may be, families who come to RWJBarnabas Health can depend on a compassionate, vigilant approach to cardiology that keeps parents involved and engaged with their child's treatment. Our counselors can also provide these families the emotional support they might need during this time and the valuable resources they need to navigate their child's condition and continue to foster their healthy development following their hospital stay.
