Heart 360

Children's Heart Clinic

Small symptoms can hide important heart clues.

From the first feed to active play, a child's heart supports every milestone. Heart concerns may show up as feeding difficulty, fast breathing, poor growth, fainting, chest discomfort, or reduced stamina. Sterling Children's Heart Clinic offers paediatric cardiologist consultation, paediatric Echo, congenital heart defect screening, advanced diagnosis, and treatment guidance for newborns, infants, and children up to 14 years.

When should parents consider a paediatric heart check-up?

Heart-related symptoms can look different in newborns, toddlers, school-going children, and teenagers.

Bluish lips, tongue, or nails

A newborn warning sign during feeding, crying, or breathing.

Fast breathing or grunting

Breathing difficulty in newborns should be checked early.

Poor feeding or frequent stopping

Feeding difficulty may point to cardiac or breathing stress.

Sweating during feeding

Repeated sweating during feeds can need paediatric evaluation.

Poor weight gain

Slow growth can sometimes be linked to heart concerns.

Swelling around eyes or legs

Swelling in newborns should not be ignored.
