Congenital Heart Clinic

Loyola’s Congenital Heart Clinic is located at the Center for Heart & Vascular Medicine at Loyola University Medical Center and provides patients access to the full spectrum of health-care professionals and services available at Loyola, including those who go beyond cardiac issues. For example, Loyola’s high-risk obstetrics department works closely with the Congenital Heart Clinic to manage pregnancies of women with heart disease or a history of heart surgery.

Our commitment to our patients goes beyond providing basic health care. One way we do this is by providing educational resources that address the medical and social aspects of congenital heart disease. These resources are available to the patient, the patient’s family and referring physicians.

Patients seen at the clinic include those with congenital heart defects such as: pulmonary stenosis, aortic stenosis, coarctation of the aorta, atrial septal defect (ASD), ventricular septal defect (VSD), Tetralogy of Fallot, patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), patent foramen ovale (PFO), Marfan’s syndrome, Eisenmenger’s syndrome, Ebstein’s anomaly and transposition of the great arteries.  

Adults with congenital heart disease are invited to participate in social and educational activities sponsored by our Treasured Hearts Support Group.  The Treasured Hearts Support Group provides education and support for parents with children affected by heart disease.  These gatherings and activities provide parents with encouragement, perspective, and education as they talk with and learn from adults who live with heart diseases similar to those that affect their children.
