Parents, Trust Your Gut When It Comes To Your Child’s Heart

Each February, Americans celebrate National Heart Month and Congenital Heart Defects Awareness Week by spreading heart health awareness and encouraging heart-healthy lifestyles. While some pediatric heart conditions can’t be prevented, there are signs parents can look for and things parents can do that can lead to earlier intervention and better outcomes for their kids and teens. Dr. Robert English, a pediatric interventional cardiologist with the Terry Heart Institute at Wolfson Children’s Hospital, is here to speak with us about the heart signs and symptoms to look out for, when to worry and what to do when it’s time to seek help.
