Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)

Congenital Heart Disease is present at birth and can affect the structure of a baby’s heart and the way it works. They can affect how blood flows through the heart and out to the rest of the body. CHDs can vary from mild to severe.
CHD treatment depends on the type and severity of the defect present. Some affected infants and children might need one or more surgeries to repair the heart or blood vessels. Some can be treated without surgery using a procedure called cardiac catheterization.

Actual reports may vary from case to case, but carrying the above reports, if you have, would be helpful when meeting the heart doctor:

  • Blood test reports
  • Urinalysis
  • Stress test (on the treadmill) and Non-stress test (sitting in a chair) reports
  • Nuclear stress test or echo stress test reports
  • Echocardiogram
  • CT, PET, or MRI scan
  • Coronary angiogram

The doctors we list are highly sought after by patients.

We consider experience, designation, patient feedback, hospital reputation and our own experience of working with them amongst many factors in creating the list.

Please submit your inquiry on the website. Upon review of the details, a case manager from our team is assigned. The case manager will assist you with opinion, cost, travel, stay, and appointment with the doctor.

Yes, you can consult with more than one cardiologist or top cardiac surgeon before making your decision to get a second opinion. Getting a second opinion can help you feel more confident before moving forward with the treatment.

The different specialists in the Cardiology department may include the following:

  • Interventional Cardiologists focus mainly on minimally invasive procedures to diagnose and treat various heart conditions.
  • Cardiac Surgeons deal with coronary artery bypass grafting, heart valve repair or replacement, and surgeries to address structural abnormalities.
  • Cardio Thoracic and Vascular Surgeons deal with the diseases or complications of ischemic heart disease, treat valvular heart disease, or correct congenital heart disease.
  • Non-Invasive Cardiologists measure cardiac output to assess the overall performance of the heart, identify any abnormalities, and develop tailored treatment plans accordingly.
  • Electrophysiologist deals with disorders that can range from harmless irregular heartbeats to life-threatening conditions.

Many times, one doctor has more than one specialty. You can consult with that specialist, depending on your condition.
