The Department of Pediatric Cardiology & Cardiac Surgery

Anzhen Hospital is especially proud of its Department of Pediatric Cardiology (Beijing Children Heart & Vascular Disease Center), which continually displays an outstanding example of integrating surgery and medicine with compassionate care. The Department of Pediatric Cardiology provides treatment for children of all ages suffering from all kinds of heart disease. Anzhen Hospital particularly specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of complicated, difficult, and severe congenital heart diseases, making it the leading pediatric cardiology unit in the country. Even early on in its existence, this department stood to the challenge of several complicated operations for children and infants with complex forms of congenital heart disease.

The department has seen considerable success in caring for pulmonary artery atresia, complete pulmonary vein malformation, monoventricle, and endocardium cushion defect. In recent years, physicians have developed methods to operate on newborns with aorta dislocation. The department also specializes in interventional therapy and sees commendable results for treating congenital heart diseases as well as ablation of arrhythmia. The Department of Pediatric Cardiology has been very successful in its diagnosis and treatment of endocardium elastic fiber hypertrophy, myocarditis, cardiomyopathy, rheumatic fever, Kawasaki disease, and so forth, making it a true bright spot among the many divisions of Anzhen Hospital.
