Imaging Center for Children with Congenital Heart Disease

Congenital heart disease is the most common birth defect. Many children born with congenital heart disease will need imaging procedures to help doctors treat their specific problem. Children’s National Medical Center in Washington, DC, opened an imaging center designed for infants and children with congenital heart disease.

Watch doctors from Children’s National Medical Center and NHLBI scientists discuss how this center will improve doctors’ ability to diagnose and treat children with congenital heart disease.
