Our Pediatric Cardiology Programs and Services
The UCLA–CHOC Congenital Heart Program
Through the
UCLA–CHOC Congenital Heart Program
, teams from
UCLA Mattel Children’s Hospital
and
Children’s Hospital of Orange County (CHOC)
have united to expand access to world-class pediatric cardiac care across Southern California. Together, we provide comprehensive care for congenital and acquired heart disease, combining our expertise in surgery, cardiology, and intensive care.
Our institutions are nationally recognized for clinical excellence, safety and quality — and our physicians collaborate on patient care, medical training and research to continually advance the field.
Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory (CTICU)
Our state-of-the-art CTICU provides advanced critical care for infants and children with complex heart disease. We care for patients recovering from heart surgery and those requiring intensive medical management, supported by a specialized pediatric cardiac team 24/7.
Congenital Heart Surgery
Led by Glen Van Arsdell, MD, our surgical team provides the highest standard of congenital heart surgery for infants, children and adults — with outcomes that rank among the best in the world.
Echocardiography Laboratory
Our full-service echocardiography lab performs thousands of heart ultrasounds (echocardiograms) each year for newborns, children and young adults. These detailed imaging studies help us diagnose heart conditions quickly and accurately.
Electrophysiology Service
Our pediatric electrophysiologists diagnose and treat hundreds of children each year with irregular heart rhythms. Using minimally invasive catheter ablation procedures, pacemaker implantation and cardioverter-defibrillators, we help children and teens live active, healthy lives.
Fetal Cardiology Program
Expectant parents receive coordinated care from a multidisciplinary team that includes pediatric cardiology, cardiothoracic surgery, neonatal intensive care (NICU),
genetic counseling
and maternal-fetal medicine. Families from across California and beyond trust us for expert prenatal diagnosis and personalized care planning.
Heart Transplant and Heart Failure Program
UCLA Health is a major referral center for pediatric heart transplants in the western United States. Since performing our first pediatric transplant in 1984, our surgeons have completed hundreds, with survival rates exceeding national averages.
Our
Pediatric Heart Transplant Program
is one of only a few in the nation dedicated solely to children — offers access to the latest treatments and clinical trials, preparing patients who may need heart transplantation in the future.
Our Expert Team
Our children’s cardiology team treats infants, children and adolescents with all types of heart problems. Our specialists use advanced techniques and a compassionate approach to care for our youngest patients.
