Paediatric Cardiology at St George's Hospital

St George’s Children’s Department works closely with the Children’s Cardiology Department at Evelina Children’s Hospital to provide close-to-home consultations and clinics for children with possible or known heart problems.

The cardiology department runs screening clinics for those with symptoms suggestive of a heart disorder and joint clinics with a specialist from Evelina for those with a known disorder.

Typical referrals include children with:

• a murmur picked up incidentally,
• palpitations,
• sudden loss of consciousness, and
• those with a documented defect on echocardiography or ECG.
