Taking Care Of Child’s Heart Surgery - BLK Hospital

As mentioned before, heart is the most important part in our body. This has been repeated over a large period of time and at several level of our education. There are some of the conditions which are suffered by us due to age related issues and this is true for our heart too but it cannot be said for 100 percent of the cases. There are some heart problems which occur in children too. And for this critical matter, you should visit children’s heart institute. As the matters of heart cannot be taken lightly, you should select the best hospital for your child. BLK is the best children heart hospital in India.

The treatment of children is fairly different than that of adults. As the development of the body parts is in growing stage, the same procedure cannot be imparted. Even the training given to a normal cardiologist is different than that of a child specialist. In general terms, pediatric word is used. Pediatrics is a branch of medicine that takes care of the diseases and conditions of children. When it comes to matters of heart, the diseases and conditions involving the heart of children, infants and adolescents come under pediatric cardiology. BLK is the leading cardiology treatment hospital in India.

BLK children’s heart institute is a 25 bedded pediatric cardiac surgical and medical unit dedicated with several specialized programs such as arterial switch program, fetal cardiology programs, neonatal cardiac surgery programs etc. Heart diseases affect almost 1 percent of live births. In India alone, more than 1,75,000 children are born with this problem. If they are not operated in first year, more than 25,000 children won’t be able to see their birthday. BLK understands this and provides the best pediatric cardiac surgery.

There are different heart diseases that can occur in children. BLK provides children heart surgery in India for all of them. Some of them are given below – 

1.       Congenital heart disease – these are the types of heart diseases that children are born with. They are caused by defects of heart that are present at birth. Heart valve disorders like narrowing of the aortic valve restricts blood flow. In some children, left side of the heart is underdeveloped. In rare cases, there are holes in the heart between the chambers and major blood vessels leaving the heart. They have a long term effect on a child’s health. Pediatric heart surgery is the way out of it.

2.       Atherosclerosis – in this condition, there is buildup of fat and cholesterol filled plaques inside arteries.  It is rare for children to get affected by condition but there are health issues such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension etc that put children at higher risk. Lifestyle changes and dietary modifications are suggested in this condition.

3.       Arrhythmia – in this condition, there is abnormal beating of the heart which causes heart to pump less efficiently. In children, the most common type found are supraventricular tachycardia, Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome etc. The symptoms include weakness, fatigue, dizziness, fainting etc.

At BLK heart pediatric cardiology treatment hospital there are different programs in the better of the heart condition of the child. In neonatal cardiac surgery program, arterial switch repair in all anatomical variations possible remains the cornerstone of reparative surgery in neonatal surgery. BLK children’s heart institute takes pride in unprecedented success of its ASO program. We also deal in interventional cardiology. Challenges lie in treating the unusual and rare lesions in smaller babies.
