While a mother is pregnant, at the 20-week check-up a cardiac screening is done to make sure that the big structures of the heart have formed correctly. If the provider notices anything unusual, a patient is then referred to a pediatric cardiologist. Other kids have minor heart formation defects that are noticed when they get older. Here is a list of common conditions that could lead you into our office. Cardiac arrhythmia is an irregular heartbeat. Heart rhythm issues occur when the electrical signals that make the heartbeat don’t conduct normally. The heart can feel like it’s beating too fast or too slow and the palpitations (heartbeat) are changing. A heart murmur is usually noticed by a child’s pediatrician during a well-child exam. A heart murmur is when the heart is making extra sounds. This can be for several reasons including heart valve abnormalities, heart muscle disorders or septal defects (holes in the upper or lower chamber of the heart). Heart murmurs are the most common reasons a child is referred to a pediatric cardiologist. Innocent heart murmurs are common to find. These are heart murmurs that are not harmful to your child. Often patients can grow out of innocent heart murmurs or the murmurs come in go throughout the child’s life. They can also be louder at times, especially if a child has a fever.
