Childhood Heart Disease & Congenital Heart Defects

Childhood heart conditions can range from the most common to the most complex. Learn more about types of heart disease in children, signs, treatment and more.

Coarctation of the Aorta

Coarctation of the aorta occurs when the aorta is pinched or constricted. This constriction is usually occurs between the upper and lower half of the body.

Congenital Contractural Arachnodactyly

A genetic disorder that may affect many areas of the body: Long limbs and long and slender fingers and toes, joints permanently bent, muscles underdeveloped and heart defects.

Cutis Laxa

A rare genetic disorder of the connective tissues of the body causing the skin to lose its elasticity and sag. May also affect internal organs, including the blood vessels, heart and lungs.

Double Inlet Left Ventricle (DILV)

A very rare congenital heart defect in which the child develops only one ventricle — the pumping chamber of the heart.

Double Outlet Right Ventricle (DORV)

A congenital heart defect in which both the aorta and the pulmonary artery are connected to the right ventricle.

Ebstein's Anomaly

A congenital downward displacement of the tricuspid valve (between the heart's upper and lower chambers on the right side) into the heart's right bottom chamber (or right ventricle).

Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome

Also called cutis elastic, a group of genetic disorders affecting the connective tissues of the body, especially the skin, joints, and the walls of blood vessels.

Endocarditis

Endocarditis is an inflammation of the layer of cells lining the inside of the heart muscle and valves, and can be infective or noninfective. Learn more here.

Fetal Cardiac Arrhythmia

Fetal arrhythmia refers to an irregular heartbeat or an abnormal heart rhythm in an unborn baby. Learn more about detection, prevention and treatment.

Heart Attack

Heart attack in teens is rare, but congenital heart conditions can cause sudden cardiac arrest. We diagnose and treat these conditions.

Heart Block

Heart block causes an abnormal heartbeat. A baby can be born with it, or a person may acquire later. Our electrophysiologists diagnose and treat heart block.
