Fetal & Paediatric Cardiology

Kingsbridge Private Hospital routinely provides access to experienced Consultant Paediatric Cardiologists who will provide support, information and advice on treatment options to any family whose baby or child may have a heart condition.*

*This service is also available as a standalone appointment.

For pregnancies judged to be at increased risk of cardiac abnormality, more detailed scans of the fetal heart are offered using fetal echocardiography.

This is a study of the structure of your baby’s heart before birth using ultrasound. Indications include the following:

  • Family history of Congenital Cardiac Disease
  • Abnormal fetal heart rhythm
  • Fetal heart abnormalities detected during a routine pregnancy ultrasound scan
  • Congenital abnormality of another major organ system
  • Insulin-dependent (type 1) diabetes mellitus
  • Exposure to some drugs in early pregnancy, for example, some anti-epileptic drugs can damage the developing heart
  • Abnormal amniocentesis

Our Paediatric Cardiologist is also available for consultation for children from birth up to 16 years who have been referred with;

  • Heart murmurs
  • Blue spells
  • Palpitations
  • Chest pain
  • Fainting episodes
