The Department of Pediatric Cardiology & Hemodynamics at IASO Children’s Hospital was established along with the Pediatric Cardiac Surgery Clinic to provide a high standard of healthcare services to children with heart conditions and respond to the following needs:

1. Diagnosis and treatment of congenital and acquired heart diseases in children whose parents place their trust with the Private Health Sector.
2. Prenatal cardiology examination in fetuses with serious family history, running an increased risk of developing a heart condition.
3. Diagnosis and treatment of congenital and/or acquired heart conditions in neonates. Monitoring of heart function in neonates hospitalized for non heart-related issues.
4. Cardiac monitoring of children hospitalized in the Department of Pediatrics and Surgery Clinics.
5. Cardiac support in the Pediatric-Neonatal ICU and the Cardiac ICU.
6. Immediate and full response to heart-related emergencies at the Outpatient Department on a 24/7 basis.
7. Regular Pediatric Cardiology Outpatient Clinics for cardiovascular system disorders.

To cover the above needs, the Department of Cardiology has set up:

1. CARDIOLOGY CLINIC: It operates as an integrated unit and is located in the same area with the Cardiac Surgery Clinic-both Clinics share 10 beds. It is fully equipped with all the required equipment to ensure a high level of healthcare services.
   The Clinic boasts: Wireless vital signs monitoring, central oxygen supply system, IV medication infusion pumps, defibrillator, external pacemaker, ECG recorder.
2. HEMODYNAMICS: The laboratory performs all diagnostic and therapeutic cardiac and peripheral vascular catheterizations as well as pacemaker placement.

   • State-of-the-art digital angiography system with the ability to conduct 3D high rotational speed (50f/sec) and high resolution (1040p.) subtraction angiography, connected to a 3D (RT) ECG recorder.
   • Anesthesia tower for patients of all ages (from pre-term low-birth-weight neonates to adults)
   • Automated blood gas analyzer
   • Defibrillator
   • Pacemaker
   • Transport monitors with blood and/or bloodless vital signs monitoring
   • Storage tower for all findings and recordings in high resolution digital format
   The laboratory may facilitate a synchronous cardiac surgery procedure (hybrid hemodynamics laboratory).
