Child Cardiology
Child – Consultation, ECG & Echocardiogram
Appointment Cost £695
Our heart screening services are provided by a team of cardiology consultants and paediatric heart specialists. These services are diagnostic in nature and are focused on the diagnosis of cardiac abnormalities in children.
Paediatric cardiology is a highly specialised field that requires vast experience and the very best cardiologists. Leading our multi-disciplinary paediatric cardiology team is Dr Orhan Uzun, who has been treating the heart conditions in children for several years:
We understand how distressing it can be for young children when they have to endure medical testing procedures administered by strangers. That’s why we work cautiously and with the utmost sensitivity. We’ve assembled a leading paediatric cardiology team in South Wales who can diagnose heart conditions at the earliest opportunity and tailor care programmes to the specific needs of the child.
Does My Child Need An ECG Or An Echocardiogram?
Guided by our Cardiologists, an ECG and Echocardiogram is carried out to ensure the most accurate possible diagnosis for your child. An ECG (electrocardiogram) looks for irregular electrical signals in the heart and the surrounding areas that might point to underlying conditions. An echocardiogram is an ultrasound designed to look for structural abnormalities in the heart.
What Does An ECG For Children Involve?
Your cardiac clinician will begin by placing electrodes on your child’s legs, arms and chest. These sensors will pick up electrical signals from your child?s heart and send them to a monitoring machine. A printout is then produced, which must be studied by a cardiologist.
While this will obviously be a worrying time for you and your family, finding the root cause of your child’s symptoms is the first step on the road to recovery. Our cardiology team will be there for you – to answer your questions and provide professional support.
