The cardiovascular genetics clinic at Children’s Health℠ provides expert care for children who are born with heart conditions caused by genetic changes (also called genetic mutations or anomalies). These genetic changes cause about 20% of heart disease in newborns.

At Children’s Health, we take a family history of heart disease, give your baby a physical exam and assess their heart health using tests such as an electrocardiogram (EKG). If we find that your child has a genetic condition, our team will work together to address heart problems and any other aspects of the condition as they grow up.
