About the treatments
Full cardiological examination
The paediatric cardiology department at the Korda Clinic specialises in the complete cardiovascular monitoring of the youngest children. Find out how we can ensure a thorough assessment of your child's cardiovascular health, from physical examination to ultrasound!
Physical examination - A gentle touch for little hearts:
The first step of the examination is a physical examination, when the paediatric cardiologist carefully assesses the little patient's heart and listens to the heart sounds. He or she looks for signs of possible heart problems by closely monitoring pulse, breathing and any symptoms.
ECG test:
Electrocardiography (ECG) uses tiny electrodes to record your child's heart rhythm. This painless test is an excellent tool for early identification of arrhythmias, myocardial insufficiencies and other heart problems.
Pulse oximetry:
Pulse oximetry is used to non-invasively monitor blood oxygen levels. It is painless and safe, and helps find early signs of breathing or heart problems.
Ultrasound - The inner world of small hearts:
An ultrasound scan gives a detailed picture of your child's heart and blood vessels. This scan can identify possible abnormalities or narrowing of the heart structure, which can help to make an accurate diagnosis.
Blood pressure measurement:
Blood pressure measurement is an essential part of the paediatric cardiology examination, helping to understand the workings of the heart and the state of the vascular system. By detecting high blood pressure or other abnormalities early, an immediate treatment plan can be made.
