About the department
The Department of Pediatric Cardiology at the Pediatric Diagnostic Hospital M1 Munich offers all the options for modern diagnostics and treatment of cardiovascular diseases in children. The department's cardiologists specialize in the treatment of congenital and acquired heart defects in young patients. A special focus in the medical facility is on the diagnostics of children to exclude or detect heart pathologies early. The state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment allows the department's doctors to detect heart defects even at the stage of intrauterine development, which makes it possible to not miss time and start treatment as quickly as possible. In some cases, doctors manage to provide effective drug therapy, for example, in the case of heart rhythm disturbances (arrhythmias). However, many congenital and acquired heart defects require interventional catheter-based procedures. The department's doctors provide each young patient with an individually tailored treatment regimen based on the obtained diagnostic data. The medical team makes every effort to provide patients with diagnostics and treatment in a pleasant environment, thereby relieving the child of any fears and worries. The Head Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Heiko Stern.
The key to successful treatment is accurate diagnostics, so the department has an advanced technical base for performing the necessary cardiovascular examinations. Pediatric cardiologists perform electrocardiography, angiography, bicycle ergometry, Holter monitoring, 24-hour blood pressure monitoring, and other examinations. The department also performs prenatal ultrasound diagnostics to detect heart defects during the intrauterine development stage. A particular set of diagnostic measures is prescribed by the attending physician based on the medical history and complaints of a young patient. The signs of cardiopathology may include chest pain, shortness of breath, heart rhythm disturbances, weakness, nausea, chronic fatigue, dizziness, cyanosis, poor appetite, and other health complaints.
The team of the department's cardiologists has long experience in treating heart arrhythmias. Arrhythmias are one of the most common cardiovascular pathologies among children and adolescents. In the case of an increased heart rate in a child, doctors state tachycardia, and a slow heart rate means the child has bradycardia. The first-line treatment to normalize the heart rhythm is drug therapy. In addition, the department's doctors give the parents of the child a number of recommendations, the observance of which contributes to a rapid recovery and helps to normalize the functioning of the cardiovascular system. In particular, such recommendations include healthy sleep and daytime rest, the maximum elimination of stressful situations, a healthy diet, maintaining a normal body weight, and normalizing cholesterol and blood glucose levels.
The department admits children with congenital and acquired heart defects. The most common congenital malformations are an atrial septal defect, a ventricular septal defect, a patent ductus arteriosus, and tetralogy of Fallot. Acquired heart defects include mitral, aortic, and tricuspid valve insufficiency and stenosis. The treatment tactics for heart defects in children are determined individually. At the same time, the department's cardiologists take into account the child's general health condition, their age, and other important factors. In the case of minor defects, clinicians resort to active monitoring tactics, which include regular heart check-ups every 6 or 12 months. In some cases, the specialists only prescribe drug therapy and regular moderate physical activity. The last-line therapy is a catheter-based procedure or open surgery. Such treatment is indicated only in complex clinical cases and is accompanied by drug therapy.
Highly skilled professionals with deep knowledge in the field of pediatric anatomy and long clinical experience take care of young patients. Using advanced sparing treatment methods, the department doctors strive to help the child overcome heart pathology and live a normal life.
The department specializes in the following:
- Diagnostics and treatment of congenital and acquired heart defects
- Diagnostics and treatment of heart arrhythmias
- Diagnostics and treatment of inflammatory heart diseases
- Diagnostics and treatment of Kawasaki disease
- Diagnostics and treatment of arterial hypertension and hypotension
- Diagnostics and treatment of rheumatic heart lesions
- Diagnostics and treatment of other cardiovascular diseases in children
The department's diagnostic and therapeutic options include:
- Diagnostics
- Electrocardiography
- Angiography
- Bicycle ergometry
- Holter monitoring
- 24-hour blood pressure monitoring
- Blood oxygen level determination
- X-ray scans
- Magnetic resonance imaging
- Treatment
- Drug therapy
- Other medical services
