Inpatient Cardiology

The inpatient cardiology team cares for patients in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and on the cardiac nursing floor at Connecticut Children’s. Our inpatient cardiologists work as part of a multidisciplinary team, including cardiologists, critical care doctors, cardiothoracic surgeons, nurses, pharmacists, therapists, and nutritionists to provide excellent care for our patients.

Our team engages in family-centered rounds at the bedside to encourage clear communication with families.
 

Inpatient Cardiology Services

We care for a wide spectrum of patients, including:

  • Newborns with heart disease
  • Patients awaiting surgery
  • Patients with heart failure
  • Patients with cardiac arrhythmias
  • Patients recovering from cardiac surgery
  • Patients requiring ECMO support
  • Patients preparing or recovering from complex cardiac catheter-based procedures

We also prepare families for the transition from hospital to home to ensure patients can get back to being healthy as quickly and safely as possible.
