Heart Services

Seattle Children's Heart Center is able to treat all heart problems – from the less critical to the most complex.

We pioneered the use of noninvasive procedures to treat and diagnose heart conditions, and we have world-class surgeons. We have a specialized cardiac anesthesia team and an intensive care unit dedicated to treating children with heart disease.

Our center's services and treatment programs span childhood, from a prenatal program to services focused on transitioning teens to adult care.

In every corner of Washington, Alaska, Montana and Idaho, our doctors conduct regional clinics, travel to far-flung hospitals and use telemedicine technology to treat children with heart conditions.
