The Department of Pediatric Cardiology and Adult Congenital Cardiology
is a place that provides diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases
including heart and blood vessels, lifestyle guidance, genetic counseling,
and medical treatment including cardiac catheterization, as well as subsequent
follow-up care. Focusing on heart disease from birth (congenital heart
disease). Our main focus is on heart disease at birth (congenital heart
disease), including Kawasaki disease, myocardial disease, arrhythmias,
heart infections, and blood pressure abnormalities. Patients are covered
from the fetal period before birth, through neonatal, infant, childhood,
adolescence, and adulthood, with the aim of creating a lifelong developmental
cardiology that looks at the entire life of patients with congenital heart
disease. As one of the top cardiac care facilities in Japan and the world,
we provide comprehensive care for patients in cooperation with related
departments such as cardiovascular surgery, cardiology, anesthesiology,
the Maternal and Child Health Center, pediatrics, psychiatry, and the radiology
imaging department, as a facility that widely gathers the patients.
Under the slogan of "the world's best and safest medical care," our department is striving to enhance its medical care system.
The goal of the training program is to develop pediatric cardiologists while practicing high quality medical care and research. The program provides training in diagnostics, including morphological, pathophysiological, and prognostic diagnosis, and medical therapy, including drug treatment and catheterization, for a wide range of diseases, examining patients from fetuses with cardiac abnormalities to those who have reached adulthood. Students will be trained in non-invasive diagnostic methods such as echocardiography, CT, and MRI, as well as cardiac catheterization and catheter therapy, enabling them to grow as cardiovascular pediatric specialists. In addition to the Japanese Society of Pediatrics Specialist, students can obtain the Japanese Society of Pediatric Cardiology Specialist and the Japanese Society of Cardiology Specialist certificates. For more information about training, please refer to our Department's website.
