The Heartpedia mobile app provides a variety of anatomically correct, three-dimensional interactive heart models. Healthcare providers can use these models as visual learning tools to help educate patients and families about specific heart defects and repairs.
Cardiology
The Division of Cardiology provides a complete range of diagnostic, consultation and treatment services. A cardiology consultation is a chance for you to be seen by a specialist in cardiology, who has the expertise and training to evaluate your condition and identify any potential concerns.
The cardiologist will ask questions about medical history, physical activity and other information that will help provide an assessment. If further tests are needed, your cardiologist will request these.
