Paediatric Cardiology

Our clinical experts are here to help,
we specialise in treating your medical concerns;

Welcome to our dedicated Paediatric Cardiology Clinic—a one-stop screening destination within The Vesey Private Hospital for children and young athletes requiring expert heart care. Led by Dr Tristan Ramcharan, Consultant Paediatric Cardiologist, our service focuses on delivering compassionate, thorough cardiac evaluations using advanced diagnostic tools and a family-centric approach.

Paediatric cardiology specialises in diagnosing and treating heart conditions in children as they grow and develop. This includes addressing congenital heart disease (present from birth), arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats), and issues with circulatory function.

Heart disease encompasses a wide range of conditions that can affect the heart. In children, these conditions can vary significantly, from minor issues with no symptoms that go undiagnosed to severe, potentially life-threatening problems apparent at birth.

Conditions we treat

Key Conditions and Concerns Addressed

Dr Ramcharan is skilled in assessing and managing a broad range of paediatric cardiac concerns, including:

  • Heart murmurs
  • Chest pain
  • Palpitations
  • Fainting or syncope episodes
  • Athletic heart screening and broader sports cardiology needs

Diagnostic Services & Procedures

Our clinic is equipped to perform comprehensive, child-friendly cardiac assessments:

  • Consultation: A holistic discussion of your child’s medical history, symptoms, growth metrics (height, weight, blood pressure, oxygen saturation), and a gentle physical examination.
  • Electrocardiogram (ECG): A 12-lead ECG to evaluate heart rhythm and electrical activity—delivered in a calm, reassuring manner suitable for young patients.
  • Paediatric Echocardiogram (Echo): A noninvasive ultrasound scan to assess the heart’s structure and function—ideal for diagnosing conditions like congenital heart defects, valve disease, cardiomyopathy, heart failure, and more.
