When you think about people who need cardiac care, you probably think about adults who have heart problems. Echocardiograms, cardiac catheterizations, pacemakers, stents, open-heart surgery—these are not things children need, are they? Yes, in many cases they are, and in South Texas thousands of babies, children, and adolescents have received these and other types of cardiac services at Driscoll Children’s Hospital.
The Heart Center at Driscoll provides a full spectrum of pediatric cardiology and cardiothoracic surgery services for heart disease. Dr. Mehta will be our program speaker Thursday.
