Cardiology Pediatric

Pediatric cardiology at a National Health Organization is about providing the diagnosis and treatment of cardiology diseases in infants and children. Deshmukh Hospital provides multidisciplinary care that offers dietetics, socialist staff nurses, physicians, and therapists. Pediatric cardiologists in India specialize in diagnosing and treating heart diseases in babies, children, and infants. Children can be affected by many heart problems. Some infants are born with some structural defects. Pediatric cardiologists specialize in diagnosing and treating these defects in the heart.

Heart ailments and problems among children below the age of 18, although not very common, are increasing at an alarming rate in the country today.

These may be arising from a variety of factors, including, but not limited to the following:

Genetics
Unhealthy lifestyle
Smoking and consumption of alcohol by the mother during pregnancy etc.
Viral infection during the first trimester of pregnancy

Cardiac ailments in children can take a variety of forms, from minor ailments that can be cured by short- term medication, to ones that may require surgical intervention. Pediatric Cardiologists are trained specifically to diagnose, treat and prevent heart ailments in children.They work closely with primary care paediatricians to provide comprehensive care.

Heart problems in children are very rare and different from that in adults. In most cases, children are diagnosed with congenital heart defects. Congenital heart defects are the most commonly diagnosed birth defect. The defects meddle with the structure of the heart which includes the valves, arteries and veins of the heart.

Pediatric cardiologists - the best care for children

Children’s heart problems differ from adults. Deshmukh Hospital’s experts in pediatric cardiology are well trained to diagnose and treat the desired heart problems of the children. Pediatric cardiologists work closely with primary care pediatricians to give comprehensive care to child patients. Deshmukh Hospital’s pediatric cardiologists work exclusively to treat patients with heart problems. If your pediatrician suggests that your child needs to check with expert cardiologists, Deshmukh Hospital would be the best option to choose for better diagnosis and treatment with the best possible care.

Commonly diagnosed pediatric heart conditions

Some of the commonly diagnosed pediatric heart conditions and their treatment include:

Aortic Coarctation

This condition is caused by narrowing of the aorta. The condition is treated by removing the narrowed parts or with the insertion of a stent into the narrowed vessel.

Aortic Valve Stenosis

A deformed and narrow heart valve that restricts blood flow. The pediatric cardiologist can choose from surgical and non-surgical means for valve replacement. Balloon valvuloplasty is one of the treatment methods used to open the valve.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmia refers to irregular heart rhythm. Treatment options for arrhythmia include medications, pacemaker implantation, catheter ablation or removal of the tissue causing the condition

Endocarditis

Endocarditis refers to the infection of the heart which can be treated with medication. Surgery can be an option but not the most preferred.

Cardiomyopathy

A condition caused due to a thickened heart that doesn’t pump the blood well is cardiomyopathy. Treatment options for the condition include medication and surgery.

Pulmonary Artery Stenosis

The heart vessel, pulmonary artery, that carries blood from the heart to the lungs narrows down obstructing the blood flow. This condition can be treated with the help of an angioplasty. Surgical treatment options are opted for in case of failure of non-surgical options.

Low birth weight
Chest pain
Delayed growth
Bluish lips, fingers and skin
Difficulty in feeding

Types of Cardiovascular Diseases

Cardiovascular Diseases (CVD) present several types of conditions. Some of these conditions may develop immediately or lead to any other disease symptoms within the same group.

Types of cardiovascular diseases are:

Arrhythmia

It is an irregular heart rhythm or heartbeat

Angina

It is the chest pain that occurs due to reduced blood flow to the heart

Heart attack

It is a sudden heart blockage affecting the heart’s oxygen supply and blood flow

Heart failure

It occurs when the heart can’t relax or contract normally

Congenital heart disease

It occurs when heart structure or function is present in a person from birth

Artery disease

This condition affects one’s arteries that provide fresh blood supply to heart muscles

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

In this condition, heart muscle walls become thick and instability develops with blood flow and relaxation of muscles in the heart

Dilated cardiomyopathy

This is a heart failure type in which the heart becomes larger and can’t pump blood normally

Mitral regurgitation

In this condition, blood leaks back via the mitral valve in the heart during contractions

Mitral valve prolapse

It occurs when mitral valve bulges within the left atrium of the heart while contracting and leading to mitral regurgitation

Aortic stenosis

It is narrowing of the heart valve that leads to blockage of blood flow while leaving the heart

Pulmonary stenosis

It is the narrowing of the pulmonary artery that further reduces blood flow from the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery

Rheumatic heart disease

It is a strep throat complication that causes heart inflammation. It also affects the regular functioning of heart valves

Atrial fibrillation

It is an irregular rhythm that may enhance the risk of stroke

Radiation heart disease

In this condition, radiation to the chest may damage heart valves and blood vessels

Vascular diseases may affect the veins, arteries or capillaries throughout the heart and body. They include:

Aneurysm

It is an enlargement or a bulge in an artery that can cause rupture and bleeding in the affected area

Peripheral artery disease

It makes arteries narrow while reducing blood flow to the limbs

Atherosclerosis

In this condition, plaque occurs on the blood vessels, narrowing them while limiting the oxygen-containing blood

Renal artery disease

It impacts the blood flow to and from the kidneys while leading to high blood pressure

Peripheral venous disease

It causes damage to the veins that flow blood from arms and feet back to the heart. It may lead to varicose veins and leg swelling

Venous blood clots

It may break loose and become dangerous if they move to the pulmonary artery

Buerger’s disease

It leads to inflammation and blood clots in the legs. It may even result in gangrene

Blood clotting

This disorder can lead to blood clot formation too quickly and further lead to excessive clotting or bleeding

It is possible to prevent and manage some of these health conditions that are types of cardiovascular diseases. All you need to do is make some lifestyle changes. However, some conditions can be life-threatening and need emergency surgery. So, it’s best to consult the cardiologist immediately in case of any heart issue.

Diagnosis

The tests required for diagnosing heart diseases depend on the type of condition your doctor diagnose as you have. However, the general diagnosis or tests for any type of heart disease are:

Electrocardiogram (ECG)

The ECG helps in recording electrical signals that help your doctor to determine any irregularities in the normal rhythm and structure of the heart

Echocardiogram

It is a non-invasive examination that includes an ultrasound of the chest and also shows detailed images of the heart’s function and structure

Holter monitoring

It is done using a Holter monitor, which is a portable device used for recording continuous ECG for 24 to 72 hours. Holter monitoring is used for detecting heart rhythm irregularities that usually don’t surface through an ECG exam

Stress test

This test consists of raising heart rate with medicine or exercises while performing heart tests and imaging to see how your heart responds

Cardiac Catheterization

This test involves the use of a short tube that is inserted within an artery or vein in the arm or leg. This hollow, flexible and long tube is then inserted within the sheath. With the help of X-ray images on a monitor, the doctor can guide the catheter through an artery until it reaches the heart

The pressure in heart chambers is measured, dyed and injected. The dye is seen on the X-ray to help doctors see the blood flow in the heart, valves and blood vessels for checking abnormalities

Cardiac computerized tomography (CT) scan

This test is done to check heart issues. In a cardiac CT scan, the patient has to lie down on a table within a doughnut-shaped machine.
