Pediatric cardiology helps with heart problems in children

19 October 2022

Pediatric cardiology is a specialty focused on diagnosing and treating heart diseases in children, who suffer heart problems very different from those suffered by adults.

Due to this, the pediatric cardiologist must work in close collaboration with the pediatrician to provide comprehensive care, using pediatric cardiology protocols.
