Child-friendly diagnostic tools
The mission of the pediatric cardiology consultation is to specify a possible abnormality in the structure or function of a child's heart, or to exclude such an anomaly. She receives children from birth to adolescence, who are referred to her by their pediatrician. The reason for such a consultation is often an auscultation considered possibly abnormal, or any symptom that may suggest an impaired function of the heart. A technical platform, including electrocardiography (at rest and during exercise) as well as ultrasound, makes it possible to specify or exclude a cardiac abnormality in the vast majority of cases.
