Outpatient Pediatric Cardiology
Board-certified pediatric cardiologists and an experienced pediatric nurse practitioner provide diagnostic outpatient evaluations for children suspected to have congenital or acquired heart disease. Such patients can include those with heart murmurs, cyanosis, arrhythmias, chest pain, and syncope, as well as sports-related concerns. Comprehensive follow-up care is provided for children diagnosed with any form of heart disease.

Pediatric Echocardiography
Pediatric echocardiography provides important diagnostic information, and is regularly used as clinically indicated as an integral part of the cardiac evaluation. The majority of our echo studies are performed on an outpatient basis. Transesophageal echocardiography is sometimes used as an adjunct to transthoracic echocardiography for complex lesions in older patients and may be performed with conscious sedation in an ambulatory care setting. Routine intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography is used to guide surgical repairs and monitor ventricular performance. Fetal echocardiography provides the ability to manage congenital defects throughout the prenatal period, allows for counseling and informed decision making, and improves care and outcomes for the family.
