Paediatric Cardiology

Paediatric cardiology has traditionally included care of patients of all ages with congenital heart disease. Many of these patients require lifelong follow up, leading to a most rewarding, close and long term relationship with patients and their families. Higher medical training in paediatric cardiology has maintained its openness to trainees from either a paediatric or an adult medicine background, although a solid basis of both paediatrics and cardiology (adult or paediatric) is essential for entry into specialist training. Skill requirements for training in congenital cardiology have gradually become less rigid, but paediatric or medical experience up to the level of achievement of MRCPCH or MRCP(UK) remains essential. Perhaps the most important attribute of any budding paediatric cardiologist is highly developed communications skills. If your paediatrician has a question about your child’s heart, he or she may refer your child to a paediatric cardiologist. Paediatric cardiologists specialize in diagnosing and treating heart problems in children. In those children who might need heart surgery, paediatric cardiologists work closely with pediatric heart surgeons to determine the best treatments and interventions. Children are not just small adults. The kinds of heart problems children have are very different from adults. For example, children are more likely to be diagnosed with a heart difference that they were born with, but heart attacks in children are very rare. Pediatric cardiologists are specifically trained to look for heart problems that affect children. Pediatric cardiologists have extensive training and expertise in dealing with children and in treating children with heart problems. If your paediatrician suggests that your child see a pediatric cardiologist, you can be assured that your child will receive the best possible care. Citations are important for a journal to get impact factor. Impact factor is a measure reflecting the average number of citations to recent articles published in the journal. The impact of the journal is influenced by impact factor, the journals with high impact factor are considered more important than those with lower ones. This information can be published in our peer reviewed journal with impact factors and are calculated using citations not only from research articles but also review articles (which tend to receive more citations), editorials, letters, meeting abstracts, short communications, and case reports.
