Prof. Dr. med. Abraham Lorber
Department of Pediatric Cardiology
Specialized in: pediatric cardiology About the Department of Pediatric Cardiology at Rambam Health Care Campus Haifa
The Department of Pediatric Cardiology at the Rambam Health Care Campus Haifa provides the diagnostics and treatment of heart diseases in newborns, children and adolescents, as well as in adults with congenital heart defects. The department has innovative equipment for the accurate diagnostics of cardiac pathologies during prenatal development. The department’s top-class medical services contributed to its recognition not only in Israel, but throughout the world. In addition, the medical staff of the facility regularly takes part in clinical trials, thereby introducing new therapeutic methods and improving the effectiveness of treatment methods. The Chief Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Abraham Lorber.
The department widely applies tomography for 3D cardiac imaging. This technique serves both for the accurate diagnostics and monitoring of treatment quality. The department also performs comprehensive manipulations, combining cardiac catheterization with X-ray imaging and transesophageal echocardiography. Such procedures often become an alternative to a surgical intervention, thereby saving the patient from open-heart surgery.
The department's range of medical services includes:
- Diagnostics and treatment of heart rhythm disorders (arrhythmias) in children
- Drug therapy
- Catheter ablation
- Radiofrequency ablation
- Diagnostics and treatment of heart failure
- Drug therapy before or after surgery (diuretics, potassium preparations, ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers)
- Diagnostics and treatment of congenital and acquired heart defects, including congenital heart defects in adults
- Diagnostics and treatment of myocarditis
- Diagnostics and treatment of cardiomyopathy
- Diagnostics and treatment of endocarditis, pericarditis
- Diagnostics and treatment of other cardiac pathologies
