Paediatric Cardiologist :
Paediatric cardiologists are the specialists who can diagnose and treat heart problems in infants and minors under the age of 18. These specialists are highly skilled in diagnosing problems that affect the structure, function and rhythm of the heart. Moreover, paediatric cardiologists can perform minimally invasive procedures such as catheterization, angioplasty and stenting to diagnose and treat their patients. In most cases, these specialists treat their patients with medications.
The qualifications of a paediatric cardiologist include MBBS, MD in Paediatrics/General Medicine and a DM in Paediatric Cardiology. Some doctors pursue further training in the form of fellowships. A paediatrician may suggest a consultation with a paediatric cardiologist if a child is born with heart problems or if the family has a history of heart problems. It is also important to consult a paediatric cardiologist for symptoms like dizziness, fainting, irregular heartbeat and chest pain.
