Our team of caring, board-certified pediatric cardiologists and experienced nurses at Nemours Children’s Clinic, Pensacola provides evaluation and management of heart disease for children (from birth through age 17) referred to us from physicians in and around Pensacola, as well as throughout the Florida Panhandle and southern Alabama.
Our non-invasive (non-surgical and non-cardiac-catheterization) services include diagnostic tests such as cardiac ultrasounds, stress testing, and EKGs. Our colorful “child-like” echocardiogram room allows children to rest comfortably while watching a favorite video. The echocardiogram (also called an ultrasound of the heart) allows our cardiologists to “see” the heart within the chest – its structure and how the blood circulates through it.
In addition, we share a Cardio-Pulmonary Testing Lab with the Pulmonology Division. Here, we’re able to increase children’s heart rate (by having them exercise on a treadmill under physician supervision) in order to determine how physical activity affects their heart.
To offer our patients the most comprehensive services, we also work closely with several pediatric heart surgery centers and provide follow-up care for those patients who may need heart transplants. Children who need further treatment are admitted to the adjoining Sacred Heart Children’s Hospital – one of the main health care providers Nemours partners with to make it easy for your child to get Nemours’ quality of care at other convenient locations.
