OUR COMMITMENT
At Pediatric Cardiology Consultants of South Texas (PCCST), we specialize in caring for children who have congenital heart defects, and for those patients who develop heart conditions later in their childhood or teen years - also known as acquired heart disease. At our San Antonio center, dedicated pediatric cardiologists, cardiac intensivists, pediatric anesthesiologists, and staff work together to heal thousands of children with heart problems each year.

PEDIATRIC HEART CARE YOU CAN DEPEND ON
Our pediatric cardiologists provide highly specialized care for children with congenital heart defects. They have in-depth knowledge of congenital diseases, which are present at birth. Children may need an evaluation by a pediatric cardiologist if they have heart murmurs, abnormal heart rhythms or faint frequently.
HOW OUR PEDIATRIC CARDIAC CARE WORKS
Our child heart experts can evaluate and create comprehensive treatment plans for children and teenagers with congenital heart defects, arrhythmias (heart rhythm disorders), cardiomyopathies and heart failure.
PCCST’s pediatric cardiology specialists work with a team to provide comprehensive, coordinated care, which may include pediatric heart surgeons and electrophysiologists (heart rhythm specialists) as well as occupational therapists, medical geneticists, pediatric specialists and dietitians.
Procedures pediatric cardiologists perform may include heart catheterizations to evaluate the heart’s function and relieve blockages. If surgery is required, pediatric cardiologists also work as a team with pediatric cardiovascular surgeons.
