Paediatric Cardiology

Paediatric Cardiology is a subspecialty of paediatrics that focuses on heart-related conditions in infants and children.

Imagine the heart as a house with rooms, doors, and plumbing. Sometimes, kids are born with or develop problems with the structure of their "heart house" or how the "plumbing" works. This could mean there's a hole in the wall between rooms (a septal defect), a door that doesn't open properly (valve problems), or the plumbing is not correctly set up (circulation issues).

Paediatric cardiologists are like expert builders and plumbers who know exactly how to fix these issues, whether through medication, special procedures, or sometimes surgery. They also help with problems that might not be about the structure but how the heart works, like rhythm problems, where the heart might beat too fast, too slow, or irregularly.
