Pediatric Cardiologists in Bangladesh — Find & Book

A Pediatric Cardiologist is a child heart specialist who diagnoses and treats heart problems in babies, children and teenagers, from before birth through adolescence. In Bangladesh, parents are most often referred to one when a paediatrician hears a heart murmur, when a newborn turns blue or breathes too fast, when a baby tires or sweats during feeding, or when a child has poor weight gain, frequent chest infections, palpitations or fainting. They commonly manage congenital heart defects such as VSD, ASD and PDA, holes in the heart, Tetralogy of Fallot, and rheumatic heart disease, which remains common here after untreated throat infections. A typical visit includes a detailed history, examination, pulse and oxygen check, and usually an echocardiogram (2D echo and colour Doppler), ECG or chest X-ray to see the heart clearly. The doctor then explains whether the child needs only monitoring, medicine, or a referral for a cardiac procedure or surgery. See a Pediatric Cardiologist if your child has a known or suspected heart condition, a murmur, breathlessness, blue spells, or fails to grow normally.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a Pediatric Cardiologist cost in your area?

In your area, a Pediatric Cardiologist's consultation fee usually ranges from about 800 to 2,000 BDT. Senior consultants and those at large private hospitals tend to charge at the higher end, while government and teaching hospitals are cheaper. An echocardiogram (2D echo with colour Doppler), if needed, is billed separately and typically costs around 1,500 to 3,500 BDT depending on the centre.

How do I book an appointment with a Pediatric Cardiologist in your area, and what should I expect?

You can book by calling the chamber or hospital to take a serial, or through an online booking platform where available. Carry your child's previous prescriptions, any earlier echo, ECG or X-ray reports, and a list of current medicines. The doctor will take a history, examine your child, check oxygen and pulse, and usually do or advise an echocardiogram. Allow extra time, as an echo on a young child can take a while. Most chambers accept cash, bKash or Nagad.

Who is the best Pediatric Cardiologist in your area?

There is no single "best" doctor for every child, because the right specialist depends on your child's specific heart condition. For complex congenital defects, look for a consultant attached to a hospital with paediatric cardiac surgery and a catheterisation lab. On this page you can compare verified Pediatric Cardiologists in your area by qualifications, years of experience, hospital and fee, and read what to expect, so you can choose the doctor who best fits your child's needs.

Can I get an online or telemedicine consultation with a Pediatric Cardiologist in your area?

Yes. Many Pediatric Cardiologists in your area offer video or phone consultations, which work well for reviewing echo and test reports, discussing results, adjusting medicines, and routine follow-up of a known heart condition. However, a first visit, any blue spell, severe breathlessness, or a child who needs an echocardiogram should be seen in person, as the heart must be examined and scanned directly.
