Overview

Some children are born with heart defects, and others develop heart problems later. Many are found through a murmur, symptoms or a scan in pregnancy.

Who it may help

  • Babies and children with heart murmurs
  • Children with congenital heart defects
  • Children with breathlessness, poor feeding, fainting or palpitations
  • Children after heart surgery

What the service includes

Examination, ECG, echocardiography, rhythm monitoring, medicines and coordination with heart surgeons and interventional cardiologists.

What to expect

Most tests are painless. The cardiologist explains the findings and whether follow-up or treatment is needed.

At KIH
