Congenital heart defects

If a child is suspected of having a heart defect before birth, a targeted ultrasound examination of the child's heart is carried out in a pediatric cardiology consultation in addition to the regular pregnancy check-ups.

Thanks to close cooperation with our colleagues in obstetrics and pediatric cardiology, a treatment plan is drawn up before the birth so that any necessary treatment can be initiated promptly after the birth and, if necessary, a transfer to the Heart Center of the University Children’s Hospital can be carried out.

If inpatient monitoring of a child with a heart defect at the USZ is indicated, the corresponding checks are carried out by the USZ neonatology team.
