We are proud to offer a dedicated inpatient, attending-level Cardiac Intensive Care Specialist in-house — 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Unlike some facilities where the same physician provides care for both cardiac and non-cardiac intensive care unit (ICU) patients, the Cardiac Intensive Care Specialist at Orlando Health Arnold Palmer Hospital is focused on critical cardiac patients in our cardiac ICU. In addition, if your child is hospitalized, they will be cared for by a pediatric cardiologist who is dedicated to treating their unique needs. You can be confident your child will receive the attention and expertise needed to manage any type of serious heart condition.

Our multidisciplinary team has worked together to provide top-notch cardiac care for more than 15 years. Our experience as a program has led to excellent outcomes, year after year. And, because our team remains in constant communication, we can provide more efficient, holistic care — especially in emergency situations when seconds matter most.

Many of our cardiologists serve in positions for national organizations and are recognized as leaders in their field. Our physicians participate in many national collaboratives that work to improve the care we provide our patients, as well as improve standards of cardiac care across the United States. We also have a 97.7% survival rate; the highest of any pediatric cardiology program in Central Florida (The Society of Thoracic Surgeons).

Our top-notch physicians also serve in leadership positions on national boards related to their subspecialties.

The Heart Center team is highly involved in contributing to advancements in pediatric and congenital heart care, including publishing scholarly articles and research, and presenting at professional meetings. At these meetings, we learn from our cardiology colleagues and assess which new techniques and technologies we may want to incorporate into the care provided at The Heart Center. What this means for our patients is that our team stays up-to-date on the latest techniques and advances in pediatric and congenital heart care, and we can offer more treatment options quicker than other heart programs in our area.

We utilize the most advanced equipment for imaging, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computerized tomography (CT) scan, echocardiography and 3D imaging. We work to continually monitor and decrease radiation exposure to our patients. The Heart Center has multiple quality improvement initiatives ongoing at all times, which work to monitor our processes and improve outcomes for patients.
