Expert Cardiology Care for Kids– Close toHome
The UW Health Pediatric Heart Program consists of a highly experienced team providing diagnostic, interventional and surgical services. We also are committed to providing not only the very best outcomes for children, but also first-class service, excellent patient satisfaction and effective communication with patient families and referring physicians.
We care for infants and children with a wide range of cardiac conditions, including:• Ventricular Septal
Defect (VSD)• Atrial Septal
Defect (ASD)• Tetralogy of Fallot• Transportation of the
Great Arteries• Truncus Arteriosus• Hypoplastic Left Heart
Syndrome
• Tricuspid Atresia• Aortic Stenosis• Coarctation of the Aorta• Inherited and Acquired
Arrhythmias• Cardiomyopathy• Heart Failure• Risk factors for
cardiovascular disease, including obesity
Our comprehensive team includes 10 pediatric cardiologists, one pediatric cardiothoracic surgeon, and a dedicated team of pediatric intensive care specialists. Our pediatric cardiology faculty includes sub-specialists in:• Adult Congenital Heart
Disease• Congenital Heart
Disease• Pediatric Heart Failure• Fetal Cardiology • Pediatric Catheterization
• Pediatric Echocardiography
• Pediatric Arrhythmias and Electrophysiology
• Pediatric Preventive Cardiology and Lipid Disorders
For those children who require a surgical procedure, Dr. Petros Anagnostopoulos, our pediatric heart surgeon, leads a cohesive and expertly trained team that consistently achieves outstanding outcomes, regardless of case complexity.
Our program’s unadjusted mortality rate, based on the most recent data, is 1.9% compared with the national average of 3.2%*. Hospital stays for our pediatric heart surgery patients are less – often considerably less – than the nationwide mean. Our patient families are also very pleased with their child’s care, as borne out by a 97th percentile ranking for Overall Patient Satisfaction in comparison to all 111 facilities in Press Ganey’s database.
In 2014, American Family Children’s Hospital was the first in the world to open a “hybrid” pediatric catheterization laboratory featuring low-dose radiation imaging equipment. This lab doubles as an operating room for especially acute cases when transferring a child from the cath lab to surgery might put the child at risk.
For your convenience, UW Health pediatric cardiologists conduct outreach clinics at multiple locations across the state close to your home, limiting the need to travel to Madison (see map inside).
We are here 24/7 to provide world-class care for children and their families. To learn more about our program, please call our provider Access Center anytime day or night at (800) 472-0111.

McKinnley Murray of Cambridge, Wisconsin was born in February 2015 with Transposition of the Great Arteries, a complex heart defect.
McKinnley would not survive without undergoing surgery to restore her aorta and pulmonary artery connections back to normal. Her situation was further complicated by prematurity; she was born about 8 weeks early with a birthweight of less than 3 pounds. To give her a chance to survive, she was urgently taken to the new catheterization lab at American Family Children’s Hospital where imaging procedures are performed using the lowest possible doses of radiation. There, Dr. Luke Lamers performed a balloon atrial septostomy to allow adequate oxygen delivery to her brain and other vital organs.
Now, McKinnley would need enough growth time so that her premature lungs and brain would tolerate the necessary cardiac surgery.
Fortunately, she did well in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at American Family Children’s Hospital, where a large team of experts cared for her for two long months before the day of surgery.
“That was the hardest day of our lives,” said Jenny Murray, McKinnley’s mom. “We knew she was in great hands, but we didn’t know at that moment if we’d see her alive again.”
McKinnley’s fate rested in the hands of pediatric heart surgeon Petros Anagnostopoulos, MD and his team. Fortunately, McKinnley did very well and came through the surgery ready to start healing and growing.
Her care team, which included physicians and staff from the NICU, PICU and Pediatric Heart Program, gave everything it had to get McKinnley on the road to recovery. Today, McKinnley is doing very well and celebrated her first birthday in February 2016.
