Specialized in: pediatric cardiology, congenital heart defects About the Department of Pediatric Cardiology and Congenital Heart Defects at University Hospital Freiburg
The Department of Pediatric Cardiology and Congenital Heart Defects at the University Hospital Freiburg offers the full range of diagnostics and treatment of heart diseases and defects in young children, school-age children, and adolescents. Over 4,000 young inpatients and outpatients are treated here annually. Each child is guaranteed an individual approach and therapy adapted to his particular clinical situation.
