Mayo Clinic has been treating heart disease in children and adolescents for more than 50 years. Mayo Clinic physicians and scientists have contributed many new developments in the treatment of these diseases, among them helping to create the subspeciality of pediatric cardiology.
Each year, Mayo Clinic heart specialists record 5,000 to 6,000 visits by children and adolescents for congenital heart problems. Mayo heart surgeons perform 350 to 400 operations each year to repair congenital heart defects.
A team of physicians from the Center for Congenital Heart Disease work together to offer the latest diagnosis and treatment methods.
