Target population
Pediatric and adult population with congenital heart disease.The pediatric cardiology service has the greatest experience in the management of congenital heart diseases in the southwest of Colombia and is responsible for determining both diagnosis and treatment of all diseases related to children’s heart health addressing different aspects. All patients receive multidisciplinary care, ECMO and ventricular assistance.
Regarding diagnosis, we have outpatient services where every child’s cardiovascular condition is evaluated, supported by alternative non-invasive services, such as pediatric echocardiography, pediatric electrocardiography, Holter electrocardiographic monitoring, Holter blood pressure monitoring and Tilt-table test.
Other fields of activity in the Service include invasive management of congenital heart problems such as cardiac catheterization. For this procedure, a diagnosis of cardiovascular problems of the child is established and/or cardiac diseases are treated through catheterization. The purpose is having a comprehensive assessment of the patient, in order to perform subsequent analysis through cardiovascular surgery and define the best surgical treatment strategy for the patient. All patients who have undergone surgery at the institution are closely monitored.
