Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta Sibley Heart Center

We Care for Children with Heart Problems

At the Children's Sibley Heart Center, we specialize in caring for children who have congenital heart defects, and for those patients who develop heart defects later in their childhood or teen years—also known as acquired heart disease. Dedicated pediatric cardiologists, cardiac intensivists, pediatric anesthesiologists, pediatric heart surgeons and staff work together to heal thousands of children with heart problems each year.

Our equipment is child-sized and children receive specialized care in a place designed just for them. We believe that caring for a child with a heart defect means caring for not only the disease, but also the whole child and supporting the family.
