Pediatric cardiologist in Tirana – Pediatric cardiology consultations

When should you take your child to a cardiologist?

• when the pediatrician hears a heart murmur
• tiring quickly, sweating or difficulty feeding in infants
• chest pain or palpitations
• fainting during play or sports
• a family history of heart disease
• a check before sports activity

How the consultation works

The doctor talks with the parent about the child’s symptoms and history, examines the child and, when needed, recommends an ECG or an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound). These tests are painless and radiation-free.

How to prepare

Bring your child’s health booklet, reports and previous tests. For young children, a favorite toy or book helps them stay calm during the examination.
