Pediatric Cardiac Care
When a child is born with a heart condition, it affects the whole family. At Sahlgrenska University Hospital, each child receives coordinated, compassionate care from diagnosis through treatment and into long-term follow-up.
As one of Scandinavia’s leading centres for paediatric cardiology and cardiac surgery, we have extensive experience in treating both common and highly complex congenital heart conditions. Each year, we care for hundreds of children, achieving outcomes that are among the best in the world.
Advances in technology mean many heart defects can now be treated using minimally invasive catheter-based procedures, reducing the need for open-heart surgery and helping children recover more quickly.
What truly sets our care apart is our multidisciplinary approach. Cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, anaesthetists, specialist nurses and other healthcare professionals work closely together to plan and deliver every aspect of a child’s treatment. By bringing this expertise together around each patient, we ensure that care is carefully coordinated and tailored to individual needs.
We welcome patients from across Sweden and internationally. Clear communication, accessibility and continuity are central to our approach. Through digital consultations and close collaboration with local healthcare providers, we can often reduce the need for travel while ensuring that children receive expert follow-up care close to home whenever possible.
Our goal is for both children and their families to feel informed, supported and confident throughout the entire treatment journey. Because when families feel safe and supported, the best conditions are created for healing, recovery and a healthy future.
