Improving the Quality of Life

Our mission at Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh’s Heart Center is to provide each child and family with comprehensive cardiovascular care and support that is second to none – no matter how challenging the child’s condition. We have met that challenge for more than three decades, earning a reputation as one of the nation’s leading institutions for pediatric cardiology and cardiothoracic surgery.

Recognition Well Earned

It takes more than one or two programs to gain national recognition. Our Heart Center has earned a reputation for excellence in all facets of pediatric cardiovascular care. Built on expertise and experience, state-of-the-art resources and a legacy of innovation, our Heart Center offers the strong foundation necessary to fulfill our biggest commitments: restoring the health of young patients and improving the quality of their lives.

The Best Possible Care, Regardless of Age or Condition

At Children’s Heart Center, our experts are able to intervene before birth and treat children into their adult years. We can manage every type of heart symptom from chest pain and fainting to simple arrhythmias, as well as perform challenging heart-lung transplants. We tailor our care to each child and offer full support to families. Year in and year out, we accept the most difficult cases and achieve exceptional outcomes.
