The missions of the UT Southwestern Pediatric Cardiology Division are to deliver excellent, high quality/high value care to children today, to advance the field of pediatric cardiology through research and innovation, and to educate future physicians and researchers in the care of children with cardiac and cardiovascular disorders. The Division is among the largest in the nation with more than 30 faculty members who drive forward well-developed clinical and scholarly programs including interventional catheterization and electrophysiology; fetal cardiology, and management of congenital heart disease from infancy to adulthood; heart failure, cardiac transplantation, and cardiovascular disease prevention; critical care medicine; cardiac imaging by echo, CT, and MR; and application of AI tools in numerous aspects of patient care. Expertise in the Division is complemented by multidisciplinary experts from UT Southwestern Pediatric Group physicians in Critical Care Medicine, Cardiac and Thoracic Surgery, Cardiac Anesthesia, Diagnostic Radiology, and Cardiovascular Genetics.

The primary site of clinical care is Children's Health Dallas, one of the nation's largest children's hospitals; there is a busy echo lab, 3 dedicated catheterization laboratories, and 3 dedicated OR suites on the Dallas campus. With a 22-bed acute care cardiology telemetry unit, a 32-bed Cardiac Intensive Care Unit, 1.5T cardiac MRI facility, and more than 14,000 clinic visits/year, the Pediatric Cardiology faculty have resources sufficient to meet present and future needs of children across the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex, with a population of more than 7,000,000 and growing.
