Echocardiography & Other Diagnosis
Pediatric cardiologists are trained to diagnose and treat heart problems in infants, children and young adults. Severe heart disease generally becomes evident during the first few months after birth. Some babies are blue or have very low blood pressure shortly after birth. Other defects cause breathing difficulties, feeding problems, or poor weight gain. Pediatric cardiologists are help to diagnose the heart diseases based on the medical and family histories, risk factors, a physical exam, and the results from tests and procedures as Echocardiography that is very basic test to check whether heart is having any problem or not. After the diagnosis only patient risk factor will determine and treatment will start.
The various diagnosis tests are used for specially heart disease as Pediatric angiocardiography, cardiac solography, electrophysiology test, heart MRI, Fetal echocardiography, Pediatric Interventional Cardiology endothelial function evaluation, electrophysiological studies, blood pressure monitoring and Pediatric nuclear cardiology etc. Pediatric nuclear cardiology studies use non-invasive techniques to assess myocardial blood flow, evaluate the pumping function of the heart as well as visualize the size and location of a heart attack.
