Dr. Sanjeev Sidana provides cardiac evaluation and interventional care for selected pediatric heart conditions, with treatment planned according to each child’s diagnosis and clinical needs.
What is Pediatric Cardiac Care?
Pediatric cardiac care involves the assessment and management of heart problems present from birth as well as conditions that develop during childhood.
Some heart conditions may only require regular monitoring, while others may need medication, catheter-based intervention, or evaluation by a multidisciplinary pediatric cardiac team.
Signs That May Require Cardiac Evaluation
Parents may be advised to seek medical evaluation when a child experiences symptoms such as:
These symptoms do not always indicate heart disease, but appropriate evaluation can help identify the underlying cause.
Common Pediatric Heart Conditions
Children may require cardiac assessment for conditions including:
Congenital heart defects: Structural abnormalities of the heart that are present from birth.
Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA): A blood vessel that normally closes after birth but remains open.
Valve disorders: Problems affecting normal opening or closing of the heart valves.
Heart rhythm disorders: Abnormally fast, slow, or irregular heartbeats.
The appropriate management depends on the type and severity of the condition.
Diagnosis of Heart Conditions in Children
A detailed evaluation may include clinical examination and appropriate cardiac investigations. Depending on the child's condition, these may include:
These investigations help determine the nature and severity of the heart condition and guide treatment planning.
Pediatric Cardiac Interventions
Advances in interventional cardiology allow some congenital heart conditions to be treated using catheter-based procedures, potentially avoiding open-heart surgery in appropriately selected cases.
Depending on the diagnosis and suitability, catheter-based interventions may be considered for certain structural heart defects or valve conditions.
Every child requires an individualized assessment to determine whether monitoring, medication, an interventional procedure, surgery, or multidisciplinary specialist care is most appropriate.
Long-Term Follow-Up & Heart Care
Regular cardiac follow-up can be important for children diagnosed with congenital or acquired heart disease.
Follow-up may help monitor heart function, growth and development, symptoms, treatment response, and any changes in the underlying cardiac condition.
Parents should follow the treatment and follow-up plan recommended by the child's cardiac care team.
