Pediatric Cardiology
The Heart Center at Lurie Children's is Illinois' most comprehensive pediatric cardiac program, handling the full spectrum of heart conditions, from routine murmurs to the most complex congenital defects, rare lymphatic conditions, and heart transplants. From before birth through adulthood, we bring every expert your child needs together, often in one visit.
Why Choose Lurie Children's for Pediatric Cardiology?
Every specialist your child may need is here, working together under one roof, from the first visit through long-term follow-up.
- Unmatched Surgical Expertise: Our surgeons deliver outcomes among the best in the nation's largest children's hospitals. We treat the full spectrum of congenital heart disease, from routine repairs to the most complex multi-stage procedures.
- Illinois' Leader in Heart Transplantation: We have performed more pediatric heart transplants than any other provider in the state, with advanced VAD bridging and lifelong follow-up care.
- Continuity of Cardiac Care: In the Regenstein Cardiac Care Unit, one of the few of its kind in the nation, your child stays in one private room with the same dedicated cardiac team from admission through discharge, with no transfers and no disruptions.
- Understanding Your Family's Heart Health: Our Cardiovascular Genetics Center is built into your child's cardiac care team, so genetic evaluation and counseling happen here without a separate referral. We help your family understand inherited heart conditions and what they mean for everyone.
- Neurodevelopmental Support After Complex Cardiac Care: Heart conditions can affect how children learn, grow, and develop. Our NICU-Cardiac Neurodevelopmental Program provides dedicated developmental support from the NICU through adolescence, including an education liaison who advocates for your child in the school system. It is one of only a few programs of its kind in the country.
