Back to Cardiovascular Departments
Children's Hospital Boston's Department of Cardiology evaluates and treats patients with congenital or acquired forms of heart disease, symptoms related to heart disease, or rhythm irregularities.

The Department began in 1950 by Dr. Alexander S. Nadas and has grown to become the largest, and one of the most respected pediatric cardiology programs in the world.

Our specialists have:

  • pioneered techniques for interventional catheterization repair of many types of congenital cardiac defects
  • perfected methods of noninvasive preoperative diagnosis
  • developed techniques for catheter ablation of arrhythmias.
By using the most sophisticated diagnostic techniques, Children's cardiologists can accurately assess a child's condition and determine the best course of treatment.
