Division of Pediatric Cardiology

The Division of Pediatric Cardiology was established in the 1960s. It has since developed into a clinical specialty integrating medical care, scientific research, and teaching, with a focus on diagnosing and treating congenital and acquired heart diseases in children. Its achievements include clinical research on myocardial infarction in Kawasaki disease; prognostic observation of atypical Kawasaki disease; experimental studies on Lactobacillus casei cell wall components inducing coronary arteritis in mice; investigation into the relationship between left ventricular diastolic function and myocardial injury in children with viral myocarditis; exploration of diagnostic criteria for endocardial fibroelastosis; long-term follow-up on the prognosis of severe arrhythmias in children; research on pediatric beta-adrenergic receptor hyperfunction syndrome; evaluation of the efficacy of the Amplatzer occluder for treating patent ductus arteriosus in children; and studies on hemodynamic changes and left heart function before and after transcatheter closure of atrial septal defects in children.

Featured Medical Technology

I. Diagnosis, Treatment, and Clinical Research of Kawasaki Disease: Early diagnosis and standardized treatment of Kawasaki disease; Management of intravenous immunoglobulin-resistant Kawasaki disease; Treatment of Kawasaki disease with various complications, such as Kawasaki disease shock syndrome, giant coronary artery aneurysms, aspirin allergy, and Kawasaki disease in patients with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency; Long-term follow-up of patients with coronary artery lesions caused by Kawasaki disease. Our department is a participating unit of the National Kawasaki Disease Collaborative Group.
II. Diagnosis and Treatment of Pediatric Myocarditis and Cardiomyopathy:
Research on the relationship between cardiac function and myocardial injury in children with viral myocarditis. We regularly organize health lectures on the prevention and treatment of pediatric myocarditis, promoting early diagnosis and treatment to prevent the development of inflammatory cardiomyopathies.
III. Diagnosis and Treatment of Congenital Heart Disease:
This includes, for example, the diagnosis and transcatheter closure of ventricular septal defects, atrial septal defects, and patent ductus arteriosus, as well as the diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary valve stenosis. We also provide preoperative diagnosis and management for children with complex congenital heart disease and assess cardiac and pulmonary vascular function in these children to determine the optimal timing for surgery.
IV. Diagnosis and Treatment of Arrhythmias and Rheumatic Heart Disease:
The department operates a pediatric cardiology inpatient ward, a cardiology specialty outpatient clinic, and a professor's clinic.
