Pediatric cardiology

Medical City Children’s Hospital and Medical City Dallas are uniquely qualified to treat hearts of all sizes and offer continuing care throughout your child’s life.

Medical City Children's Hospital is the only hospital in North Texas where fetal diagnosis, high-risk deliveries, stabilization in the neonatal intensive care unit, corrective surgery, state-of-the-art postoperative monitoring and care and long-term follow-up of patients with complex congenital heart disease can all be performed under one roof.

In addition to expert cardiology treatment, board-certified pediatric physicians, specially trained nurses and child-life specialists provide comprehensive, compassionate care to children of all ages and their families.

For pediatric patients with congenital (present at birth) heart disease, deficit or complex, the Heart Center at Medical City Children's Hospital offers advanced treatment options for neonates, infants, children, adolescents and adults with all forms of congenital and acquired heart disease.

World-renowned specialists and dedicated teams bring expertise in pediatric cardiology, pediatric critical care and pediatric congenital heart disease surgery, achieving outcomes for patients that surpass national standards.

If your child needs a fetal echocardiogram, cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or a computed tomography (CT) scan, you have access to an accredited echocardiology lab. The pediatric echocardiology lab uses technologies such as transesophageal, intracavitary and real-time pediatric 3D cardiography.

Medical City Children's Hospital pediatric congenital heart specialists offer leading-edge heart surgery for infants, children, adolescents and unborn babies. Pediatric cardiology teams work with specialists from related fields, including the Maternal Fetal Institute and the Fetal Care Center, to provide your child with comprehensive, multidisciplinary care.

After your child's cardiac procedure or diagnosis, an exercise routine may be the last thing on your mind. However, for a variety of heart conditions, a supervised cardiac rehabilitation program can help improve your child's quality of life. Through supervised exercise, lifestyle education and psychosocial support, we can help your child recover from their cardiac event while building confidence and self-esteem.
