Our heart defect lexicon
Heart defects explained clearly.
If you or your child have been diagnosed with a congenital heart defect, it can sometimes be difficult to understand the discussions about diagnosis and treatment. It is also not easy for the physician to explain how the blood flows in the heart (hemodynamics) and what the consequences are. It becomes easier when the situation is depicted in a picture, making what was previously abstract clear. And this is exactly what our heart defect lexicon does.
Heart defects before birth?
We treat with high-tech.
Even before birth, some heart defects can be detected during ultrasound examinations. A heart defect in one's own child is initially worrying for many parents. However, most heart defects can now be treated successfully, with very good results and a normal life expectancy. We will help you to understand your child's heart defect and provide you with advice and support during treatment.
