Cardiology
The missions of the Division of Cardiology, part of the interdisciplinary Heart Center at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, are:
- To provide outstanding care to the fetus, infant, child and young adult with cardiovascular disease;
- To advance pediatric cardiovascular medicine through clinical and laboratory research;
- To train future academic leaders in the field of Pediatric Cardiology.
The Division of Cardiology is a part of Cincinnati Children's Heart Center, an interdisciplinary effort combining the talents of pediatric cardiologists, cardiothoracic surgeons, cardiac-focused nursing and patient services that together provide the highest quality of care for patients with cardiovascular disease.
The Division of Cardiology provides comprehensive inpatient and outpatient care for the newborn, child and young adult with congenital or acquired cardiovascular disease.
The Inpatient Cardiology Service consists of two pediatric interns, a pediatric cardiology fellow and attending who provide daily inpatient and consultative care throughout the hospital.
The Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (ICU) provides care for patients of all ages with the most complex cardiovascular disease, medical and/or surgical. The Cardiac ICU team includes a cardiology fellow and cardiac intensivist, and there is close collaboration with the Division of Critical Care Medicine.
State-of-the-art inpatient and outpatient care is also provided by the Division of Cardiology's programs in echocardiography, electrophysiology, cardiac catheterization and intervention, heart transplant and preventive cardiology. Twenty-oner cardiology clinics are held at Cincinnati Children's each week.
