BRAIN ATTACK:
The science of paediatric cardiology includes understanding the anatomy and function of the normal heart, as well as the development of abnormalities during foetal life and those acquired after birth. When necessary, these abnormalities may be treated medically or repaired by surgical or non-surgical (percutaneous) intervention. The treatment of congenital heart disease can begin before birth and continue into adulthood. The reported incidence of congenital heart disease is 8-10/1000 live births, and 30-50% of these defects are critical, requiring intervention in the first year of life.
Current advances in treatment allow 85% of children with critical heart disease to survive.
The Paediatric cardiac program at Max Super speciality Hospital was started recognizing the pressing need for quality care for children with heart disease at a reasonable cost. The program is now recognised as one of the leading paediatric heart programs in India and is a preferred destination for patients from all over India and other countries. The program is known for the quality and range of services that are provided. A multidisciplinary team from Paediatric Cardiology, Cardiac surgery, and Critical care provide continuous care for children with heart disease.
Paediatric cardiology services at our Centre specialises in the diagnosis and management of all forms of congenital heart disease from prenatal cardiology to adulthood. We also specialise in the diagnosis and management of acquired heart problems seen in children, such as Rheumatic heart disease, Kawasaki disease, Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in Children (MIS-C), bacterial endocarditis, and systemic illnesses like liver disease, renal disease, anaemia, thyroid and diabetes mellitus etc. affecting the heart. At Max Hospital, we have a running advanced paediatric program; we get regular referrals for cardiac evaluation in various inherited/genetic diseases like Marfan syndrome, Long QT syndrome, Trisomy, and connective tissue disorders.
Our Paediatric Cardiology unit is committed to providing the highest quality of cardiac care to the patients by:

Cardiac Catheterization services
For the majority of congenital cardiac defects, surgery is the mainstay of treatment, and often this is an open-heart operation. Today newer developments in cardiac catheterization technology allow the treatment of heart defects in selected patients without an operation. This avoids the trauma of surgery and allows very rapid recovery and short hospital stays. The procedures are performed in the cardiac catheterization laboratory, and a needle prick in the groin is the access to the heart, so there is no visible scar.

Stenting
Foetal cardiac program : Prenatal diagnosis and counselling of pregnant mothers with a suspected heart defect in the foetus, prenatal treatment for foetuses with cardiac rhythm disorders.
Foetal Echocardiogram: Foetal echocardiography is a detailed ultrasound of the foetal heart and is optimally performed at 18 -22 weeks of gestation. Some heart problems are correctable and require elective intervention after birth, while some are critical and may require immediate attention before or after delivery. Knowing about a potential heart problem prior to delivery gives the family a chance to prepare for the challenges they may face.
Surgical Procedures:
The open heart procedures include:
Others are
The closed heart procedures include:
Adults with CHD:
The most rapidly growing population of patients with congenital heart disease is the adult with repaired congenital heart disease. We provide coordinated and comprehensive care for such patients at our Centre.
The program encompasses the full spectrum of paediatric electrophysiology. We perform invasive electrophysiology studies using standard and advanced techniques in patients with structurally normal hearts as well as in patients with congenital heart disease and offer both radiofrequency ablation and transcatheter cryoablation. Surgical mapping and intraoperative cryoablation are also available in patients with congenital heart disease. We perform autonomic testing using tilt table technology. The EP service also implants all transvenous pacemakers, including biventricular pacemakers and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators.
