Q: Why is early cardiac disease diagnosis important, and what do you offer?

Q: What are the most common surgeries Arkansas Children’s Heart Institute performs?
A: The most common heart surgeries we perform correct or improve blood flow caused by heart defects present at birth. These include ventricular septal defect, atrial septal defect, tetralogy of fallot (TOF) and coarctation of the aorta repairs.
Q: How does Arkansas Children’s Heart Institute serve children and adults with congenital heart disease?
A: Arkansas Children’s Heart Institute offers lifelong, specialized care for congenital heart disease. Our experts perform advanced diagnostics and treatments including fetal and pediatric echocardiography, cardiac MRI and CT scans tailored to congenital anatomy, catheter-based interventions and electrophysiology services.
