Pediatric Cardiology (heart murmurs, congenital heart defects)

Pediatric cardiology is a specialized field of medicine focused on diagnosing and managing heart conditions in infants, children, and adolescents. The heart problems seen in this population can be present at birth (congenital) or acquired later in childhood. Among the most commonly encountered conditions in pediatric cardiology are heart murmurs and congenital heart defects (CHDs), both of which can vary widely in severity and clinical significance.
