Cardiology
The Paediatric Cardiology Service provides cardiology services to patients with congenital or acquired heart disease throughout childhood.
Services are also provided to unborn babies with congenital or acquired heart disease and their parents in conjunction with the Fetal Diagnostic Unit. Additionally, services are provided to adult patients with complex congenital heart disease. The service covers the entire network and surrounding areas, as well as a smaller number of patients from interstate.Paediatric Cardiology Services are a part of MonashHeart, and we have very close association with our adult Cardiology, and both Paediatric and adult Cardiac Surgery colleagues in MonashHeart, and also with other general and specialist paediatric units within Monash Children’s. We also work closely with our Paediatric Cardiology and Cardiac Surgical colleagues at the Royal Children’s Hospital.
