Services
Pediatric Cardiology deals with diagnosing and treating diseases of infants and children.
· Out patient clinics on all Monday and Wednesday
· Echocardiogram to diagnose complex congenital heart diseases
· Cardiac Catheterization
· Pediatric ASD/VSD/PDA interventions and coiling
CT Angiograms are used to diagnose a variety of heart conditions. It can show narrowed or blocked areas of a blood vessel.
Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging is a non-invasive assessment of the Cardiovascular system. A heart MRI scans the heart to measure its functioning and how it moves.
Coronary Catheterization is a minimally invasive procedure used for both diagnostic and interventional purposes.
Angioplasty involves placing a stent to keep the artery open, coated with medication. A Coronary Angioplasty takes between 30 minutes and 2 hours, and involves lying on an X-ray table and being given a local anaesthetic.
SPECT and PET provide metabolic and functional information, combining with CT and MRI. PET scan images have a higher resolution than cardiac SPECT scans, allowing Radiologists to detect changes to the heart's blood flow at a granular level.
Cardiac Electrophysiology involves diagnosing and treating electrical problems of the heart. The Department of Cardiology has a 48 channel St. Jude Electrophysiology System, useful for electrophysiological studies and ablation.
