Pediatric cardiologist

Pediatric cardiology is the medical specialty that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of heart diseases in children, from newborns to adolescents. Cardiac conditions in children may be congenital (present at birth) or may develop during childhood, and early detection is essential for long-term health.

The importance of cardiology consultations for children

A child’s heart is different from an adult’s heart and requires a specialized approach. Some congenital heart defects can be detected immediately after birth, while other problems appear later as the child grows. Pediatric cardiology consultations help to:

• detect and monitor congenital heart defects;
• evaluate children with heart murmurs, chest pain, or palpitations;
• monitor the development of children at increased risk (premature infants, genetic conditions, family history of heart disease).

What a pediatric cardiology consultation at CardioPrima includes

The consultation is adapted to the child’s age and includes:

• discussion with parents: information about symptoms, personal and family medical history, and the child’s lifestyle;
• clinical examination: heart auscultation, blood pressure measurement, assessment of pulse and overall development;
• interpretation of existing investigations: echocardiography, ECG, or other previously performed tests;
• determining the need for additional investigations: ECG monitoring, echocardiography, and other specific tests;
• personalized recommendations: follow-up plan, treatment if necessary, and advice on physical activity and nutrition.

Who should undergo a pediatric cardiology consultation

• children with symptoms such as excessive fatigue, shortness of breath, palpitations, or chest pain;
• newborns and infants with suspected or confirmed congenital heart defects;
• children and adolescents with heart murmurs or a family history of heart disease;
• children preparing to participate in competitive sports who require a cardiology evaluation.

At CardioPrima, pediatric cardiology consultations are provided by Dr. Lilia Romanciuc, pediatric cardiologist, Doctor of Medical Sciences, in a friendly environment tailored to each child’s age and needs. Our goal is to give parents confidence that their children receive the necessary cardiological care for healthy and safe growth.
