Lucile Packard Children's Hospital

Lucile Packard Children's Hospital

Lucile Packard Children's Hospital has assembled a team of doctors, nurses and other health professionals who are specially trained to diagnose and treat infants, children and young adults with both congenital and acquired heart disease.

All our doctors use state-of-the art techniques to diagnose and treat all forms of congenital and acquired heart disease in infants, children and adolescents. Our team is highly expert in echocardiography, including fetal and transesophegal echo, and along with Stanford engineers, is developing new techniques in 3-D echo, 3-D electron beam CT scan and MRI angiography. With these new technologies, most children no longer require invasive procedures such as cardiac catheterization for diagnosis. (Source: Children's Heart Center website)
