Abstract:
The out-patient unit for pediatric cardiology is important in establishing diagnoses and caring for children with congenital heart disease. In addition it provides postoperative care and helps the local physician to decide whether a heart-catheter or a heart operation is necessary. Innocent murmurs in children can be recognized, cardiac arrhythmias analyzed and treated. In this sense the pediatric cardiology out-patient unit is expected to maintain the work of a locally practising pediatric cardiologist, as well as providing student and postgraduate training facilities in pediatric cardiology.
