About the Program
The Fetal and Perinatal Cardiology Program is a unique branch of the Heart Institute that combines the expertise of UPMC Magee-Womens Hospital with the team at UPMC Children’s. It consists of neonatal cardiology, fetal cardiology, and maternal cardiology.
Our neonatal cardiology team assesses and manages full-term and premature babies with heart defects. At the program, our team diagnoses and treats:
- Congenital heart disease (CHD).
- Heart function in very sick newborns.
- Heart rhythm problems (arrhythmias).
Our experts collaborate with staff from reproductive genetics, high-risk obstetrics, ultrasound, and neonatology in order to provide high-quality, personalized care to each baby and mother seen at the Heart Institute at UPMC Children’s.
