A Relationship Created for the Best Pediatric Care
For pediatric specialty care, Intermountain Children's Health is affiliated with University of Utah Health. U of U Health physicians see patients at Primary Children's Hospital on campus, Lehi Primary Children's, and other locations throughout the Salt Lake City valley.
It's a shared mission of providing health care, education, and research. It comes to life through collaboration on clinical care, research, and educational programs.
Primary Children's Hospital operates as the main pediatric facility for the U of U Health system, providing care in more than 60 medical and surgical specialties such as surgery, oncology, cardiology, orthopedics, and others. Most of the providers at Primary Children's Hospital are faculty members at U of U Health.
This partnership delivers care to advance pediatric medicine while educating future generations of health care professionals.
Conditions
Adult Congenital Heart Disease Program
Helps pediatric patients make the transition to adult care. Offers patients guidance on how to manage their heart conditions through adult milestones including employment, pregnancy, and physical activity.
Aortopathy Program
Provides specialized evaluation and care for patients with abnormal aortas.
Cardiomyopathy Program
Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle. There are several forms of cardiomyopathy.
In the Cardiomyopathy Clinic at Primary Children's Hospital and the Eccles Ambulatory Care Center, our team of cardiomyopathy and heart failure specialists see children with all forms of cardiomyopathy.
We also care for children who are at risk for developing cardiomyopathy due to:
- a family risk,
- other disorders, or
- a history of toxin exposures, such as chemotherapeutic agents.
We have a team of highly skilled nurse practitioners and a cardiovascular geneticist who works closely with the physicians to care for your children and explain the condition, symptoms, and risks of inheritance.
When needed we provide state of the art testing, such as:
- three-dimensional echocardiogram,
- exercise testing,
- cardiac catheterization, and
- cardiac MRI.
Most children will undergo an echocardiogram, ECG, and consultation with the genetics counselor at the initial visit. There are also ongoing research studies related to pediatric cardiomyopathy for which your child may be eligible.
Fetal Heart Program
Greatly improves the care of infants with congenital heart disease through early fetal detection, prenatal planning, and expedient management after birth.
