Our Services
When you visit our clinic, our paediatric cardiologist will perform a thorough evaluation of your child's heart condition, including a physical examination and review of medical history. We may also recommend one or more diagnostic tests, such as an electrocardiogram (ECG) or an echocardiogram, to better understand your child's heart health.
Based on the findings, we will develop a personalized treatment plan that may include medication, lifestyle changes, or surgery, if necessary. We will also provide education and counselling to help your child and family better understand your child's heart condition and how to manage it.
We offer ongoing follow-up care and monitoring to ensure that your child's heart health remains stable and any changes are detected early.
