Frequently Asked Questions about Pediatric Cardiology in Marbella
When should a child be seen by a paediatric cardiologist?
A paediatric cardiology review may be recommended if a murmur has been detected, or if the child has chest pain, dizziness, fainting, palpitations, unusual tiredness during exercise or has been advised to have a heart assessment.
Does a heart murmur in a child always mean something serious?
No. Many childhood heart murmurs are innocent and do not require treatment. A specialist review helps distinguish harmless murmurs from those that need follow-up.
Which heart-related symptoms in children should be assessed?
Symptoms that deserve assessment include repeated chest pain, marked tiredness with exercise, dizziness, fainting, palpitations or any other symptoms associated with exertion.
What tests are normally done during the appointment?
The main tests are an ECG and a paediatric echocardiogram, both of which help assess heart structure and function accurately and are usually very well tolerated.
Is an echocardiogram painful for a child?
No. It is a painless, non-invasive scan similar to an ultrasound and is generally well tolerated even by babies and younger children.
Do you also offer heart checks for children and teenagers who play sport?
Yes. Cardiac assessments are available for children and adolescents involved in regular or intensive sport to help ensure safe participation.
What if a child has fainted or often feels dizzy?
These symptoms are often benign, but a proper cardiac assessment may still be needed to rule out heart-related causes.
What does the first paediatric cardiology appointment involve?
The first visit usually includes a discussion of symptoms, family history and relevant background, together with the appropriate tests needed to clarify the diagnosis and next steps.
