Color Doppler echocardiography screening from newborns – An early screening method for cardiovascular diseases in children
Every year in Vietnam, 3,000 newborns are born with severe congenital heart disease, of which about 20% of newborns discharged from the hospital are missed and not detected for congenital heart disease. Congenital heart disease has a high risk of mortality if we delay in diagnosis and transferring the child to experienced cardiovascular centers for treatment.
Congenital heart diseases are very diverse and vary in severity, therefore, early detection of cardiovascular diseases in children is extremely important to have appropriate handling and monitoring measures. Ultrasound is one of the most effective and safest methods widely used to detect cardiovascular diseases.
As one of the first units in the city to implement color Doppler echocardiography using the Affiniti 70C color Doppler ultrasound machine from Philips – one of the world’s leading brands in ultrasound equipment, along with a team of top doctors trained in the field of cardiovascular ultrasound, with many years of experience directly examining and performing ultrasounds for numerous pediatric patients, the Pediatrics Department at Hai Phong International Obstetrics and Pediatrics Hospital is a trusted address for parents to entrust the health of their beloved children.
