We’ve helped children born with congenital heart disease (CHD) live longer, healthier lives by revolutionizing diagnosis and treatment. Adults living with CHD need expertise from a team that has expertise in both congenital heart conditions and with adult-specific heart needs.
Children who have undergone cardiac procedures during infancy and early childhood have a greater risk for motor delays; attention and behavioral challenges; and language and visual difficulties. We monitor for subtle signs to provide treatment as early as possible.
Texas Children’s Heart Center is recognized across the globe as a leader in the highly specialized field of pediatric cardiology, tailoring care to the needs of each individual family.

Offering cutting-edge treatment for patients with heart rhythm abnormalities, the Electrophysiology Program is one of the nation’s highest volume pediatric centers for invasive electrophysiology studies and pacemaker/defibrillator implantations.
With our long history and high volume of patients we’ve had the privilege of treating over the years, we offer a rare level of expertise and experience in fetal cardiology.
Our program helps families navigate the Fontan procedure, a cardiac surgery that supplies blood to the lungs in children whose hearts have a single pumping chamber that supplies blood to the rest of the body.
Our dedicated team of doctors, nurse coordinators and administrative personnel cares for more than 2,000 cardiomyopathy and heart failure patients, offering a variety of circulatory support devices as a bridge to transplantation.
