Paediatric Cardiology with Dr Neeraj Jain
Consultant Paediatrician & Cardiac Imaging Specialist
MBBS, FRCPCH, EACVI (Cardiac Imaging)
At Dr Neeraj Jain’s private practice in London and Essex, our Paediatric Cardiology service combines decades of paediatric and neonatal expertise with the latest imaging and interventional techniques. From the tiniest newborn diagnosed in utero through to active teenagers, we offer a comprehensive spectrum of care—diagnosis, treatment, follow-up and lifelong support—always in a child- and family-friendly environment.
When Should You See a Paediatric Cardiologist?
Early assessment is vital if you notice any of the following in your baby or child:
-
Rapid or laboured breathing, poor feeding, faltering growth
-
Cyanosis (“blue” lips or skin) or unexplained sweating
-
Heart murmurs heard on routine exam
-
Chest pain, palpitations or fainting (syncope)
-
Family history of congenital heart defects or inherited arrhythmias
We also offer routine cardiac screening prior to school sports or when preparing for surgery in children with other medical conditions.

Fetal Cardiology (Prenatal Scans)

Q: Is tilt-table testing safe for my child?A: Yes. It’s performed under close medical supervision with continuous monitoring. While it can induce fainting in controlled conditions, staff are ready to return your child to a flat position immediately and safely.
-
Q: Can my child continue to play sports?A: After evaluation, we’ll advise on safe participation. Many children with benign syncope continue sports with simple precautions. Those with exercise-induced arrhythmias may need specific restrictions until treated.
-
Q: How long does the evaluation take?A: An initial cardiology consultation lasts about 45–60 minutes. Depending on findings, diagnostic tests may be scheduled on the same day or at follow-up visits.
