"I first met Dr. Fischer in the ER due to bradycardia. My first impression of Dr. Fischer was very very good! She had a warm and kind personality. Rooted in years of experience I knew I was in good hands. The solution was to have a pacemaker implant. Dr. Fischer would be my surgeon. I couldn't have been happier! She did an amazing job! Her entire team walked me through each step and made adjustments as I recovered. There's no words to describe Dr. Fischer and her team besides they're angels/Godsent. I highly recommend her practice. Thank you Dr. Fischer, Sarah, Jim, Sarah, and the entire staff!"

What is Pediatric Cardiology?

Pediatric cardiologists are doctors who specialize in children's heart problems. Their patients may range in age from unborn babies still in the womb to teenagers, and in some cases even adults. The main difference between pediatric cardiology and adult cardiology is not only that pediatric cardiologists treat younger patients. Pediatric cardiologists are much more likely to treat heart problems that are "congenital", meaning a patient is born with them.

Due to the advances of modern medicine, babies who are born with congenital heart disorders are more likely than ever to survive into adulthood. In certain cases, pediatric cardiologists continue to provide care for these adult patients, because their training and experience gives them particular insight to the kind of heart problems these adult survivors have.

Other than congenital heart disease, pediatric cardiologists also treat:

Hypertension or high blood pressure
Chest pain
Murmurs or palpitations
Infections of the heart
Valve disorders
Cardiomyopathy, or problems with the heart muscle
Arrhythmia, or irregular heart beats
Congestive heart failure

A pediatric cardiologist often uses tests called echocardiograms and electrocardiograms (EKG) to examine the structure and activity of the heart. Once a diagnosis is made, treatment may involve lifestyle changes, catheterization (where a thin tube is threaded through a blood vessel to the heart to open blockages or provide further information), or surgery.
