See how the heart performs its amazing job, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. More »Yale Pediatric Cardiology provides diagnosis and treatment of infants, children, adolescents and adults with congenital cardiac malformations and acquired heart disease. The service collaborates with Pediatric Cardiothoracic Surgery to provide innovative and advanced surgical care to patients of all ages.
• Yale Fetal Cardiovascular Center – opened in 1985 as one of the first centers of its kind. Provides diagnosis and treatment of fetal cardiac disease and performs more than 1,000 fetal echocardiograms a year in women whose pregnancy may be affected by congenital heart disease or arrhythmia. The Center provides a multidisciplinary approach to comprehensive care with physicians from Maternal-Fetal Medicine, Pediatric Cardiology and Perinatal Medicine, as well as genetic counselors.
• The Pediatric Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory – a nationally recognized leader for technological advances in diagnosis and intervention, treating young cardiac patients who would have otherwise required open-heart surgery. The laboratory routinely performs diagnostic and interventional catheterization procedures in children and adults with congenital heart disease, including:
         • Transcatheter closure of atrial septal defect
         • Ventricular septal defect
         • Patent ductus ateriosis
         • Patent foramen ovale
• The Pediatric Echocardiography Laboratory – provides non-invasive assessment of cardiac anatomy and physiology. The lab is completely digital and performs nearly 4,000 studies per year. It encompasses the transthoracic, 3-D, transesophageal and intracardiac approaches. The service plays an important role in pre- and intraoperative surgical assessment and planning, as well as interacts with the interventional cardiac catheterization laboratory. The service also provides consultative services throughout the state.
• The Yale Pediatric Electrophysiology and Pacing Service – offers a full range of services to pediatric and adult congenital heart patients with arrhythmias. A dedicated expert team of physicians and nurse practitioners cares for patients with congenital arrhythmia syndromes, including:
         • Wolff-Parkinson-White
         • Long QT Syndrome
         • Brugada
         • Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia, and other rare channelopathies
         • Supraventricular tachycardias
         • Ventricular arrhythmias
         • Outpatient transcatheter ablation techniques
         • 3-D arrhythmia mapping
         • Ablation using advanced intracardiac mapping systems
         • Pacemaker and defibrillator (ICD) device implantation
