Pediatric Cardiology in Marbella​

Dr. Gonzalo Cortazar

Pediatric Cardiology in Marbella

Pediatric cardiology focuses on the evaluation, diagnosis, and follow-up of cardiovascular conditions in babies, children, and adolescents. At German Clinic Marbella, we provide specialised care for young patients who present symptoms such as heart murmurs, chest pain, dizziness, syncope, palpitations or reduced tolerance to exercise. Our goal is to distinguish between common benign conditions of childhood and those that require more detailed assessment.

Cardiology evaluations include check-ups, advanced diagnostic tests and personalised follow-up. Pediatric echocardiography and electrocardiography (ECG) allow us to study the structure and function of a child’s heart with accuracy and without discomfort. We assess heart murmurs detected during routine check-ups, recurrent chest pain, fainting episodes or exercise-related symptoms, offering families peace of mind and ensuring early diagnosis when needed.

The assessment of cardiovascular development, prevention, and counselling is an essential part of pediatric cardiology. We also carry out sports cardiac evaluations for children and adolescents involved in intense physical activity, ensuring they can train and compete safely. Our approach combines clinical expertise, clear communication, and close contact with families to provide comprehensive and continuous care.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pediatric Cardiology in Marbella

If a heart murmur has been heard, or if your child has chest pain, dizziness, fainting, palpitations, unusual tiredness with exercise, or has been advised to have a heart check.
No. Many murmurs in children are harmless. A paediatric cardiology review helps tell the difference between an innocent murmur and one that needs follow-up.
Repeated chest pain, unusual tiredness during exercise, dizziness, fainting or episodes of a fast heartbeat are all worth assessing.
The main tests are an ECG and a paediatric echocardiogram. Both are accurate and generally very well tolerated.
No. It is a painless, non-invasive scan and is suitable even for babies and younger children.
Yes. A heart check can be very useful for children and teenagers who take part in regular or intensive sport.
What if my child has fainted before or often feels dizzy?
We talk through symptoms, medical history and family history, and we decide which tests are needed so you have a clear idea of the next steps.
