The pediatric cardiologists at Mount Sinai Kravis Children’s Heart Center will provide you and your child with world-class, compassionate care. We often see children soon after they experience symptoms such as:

• Chest pain
• Fainting
• Palpitations (extra fast heart beat)
• Shortness of breath or low oxygen levels

We understand that seeing a doctor immediately for a heart condition is vital to the health of your child. That is why we make appointment scheduling easy. When booking an appointment, we will be certain to have one of our doctors see you as soon as possible.

Testing

Children’s Heart Center will use a variety of tests to find the cause of your child’s heart condition. These tests include:

• Advanced cardiac imaging
• Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring: A non-invasive, 24-hour blood pressure test
• Ambulatory heart rhythm monitoring: A 24-hour test to study the heartbeat’s rhythm
• Echocardiography: Using ultrasound waves to take pictures of your heart
• Electrocardiography (EKG’s): Placing electrodes on the body to measure electrical activity in the heart
