Overview

Advanced Cardiac Care for Little Hearts

At Holy Spirit Hospital, our Paediatric Cardiac Sciences Department is dedicated to providing compassionate, comprehensive, and state-of-the-art care for children born with congenital heart defects. We are proud to house a team of nationally renowned paediatric cardiologists who bring decades of experience and expertise to each case.

Early detection and timely treatment are often critical in managing congenital heart conditions. Many cardiac defects present in the newborn period can be life-threatening if not treated within the first few days of life. Our team ensures accurate and prompt diagnosis, followed by refer to advanced surgical interventions in a safe, child-friendly environment.

At Holy Spirit Hospital, echocardiography is a vital tool in the evaluation and management of cardiac conditions. Our department is equipped with the latest technology to perform a comprehensive range of echocardiographic procedures, including:

3D Echocardiographic Evaluation
Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE) – including in neonates and infants
Fetal Echocardiography – for the prenatal detection of congenital heart defects, with integrated care for high-risk pregnancies

We also offer advanced non-invasive cardiac imaging, such as CT and MRI, to support accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.

Our outcomes are on par with leading international cardiac centres.

The Paediatric Cardiology division works in close collaboration with other paediatric sub-specialties and is fully supported by our advanced Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) to provide holistic care.
