Murmur evaluation
New, persistent, or concerning murmurs are assessed with clinical context and routed for echocardiography when indicated.

The reframe
Most childhood chest symptoms are not emergencies, but the few that matter must not be missed.
Parents hear “heart” and fear the worst. Pediatricians see the range: innocent murmurs, anxiety-linked chest pain, exercise symptoms, rhythm concerns, family history, and rare but important red flags.
The right system does not over-medicalise every complaint, and it does not dismiss the child who faints during exercise or has concerning history. It uses structured screening and timely referral.
The SKIDS Cardiac Clinic brings history, examination, digital auscultation where available, blood pressure, exercise context, and referral criteria into one pediatric pathway.
Cardiac screening should calm the common worry and catch the uncommon risk.
What we screen for · what we treat
What the SKIDS Cardiac Clinic brings into view.
Chest pain and palpitations
Pain pattern, rhythm symptoms, triggers, anxiety overlap, and red flags are reviewed without panic.
Syncope and exercise symptoms
Fainting, dizziness, poor stamina, and sports symptoms are triaged carefully, especially during exertion.
Blood pressure and family history
BP percentiles, obesity risk, kidney links, and family cardiac history are included in the record.
Our protocol
The SKIDS Cardiac Protocol, in four steps.
Diagnostic confirmation
The pediatrician confirms the concern through history, examination, screening results, and the child’s context around murmur, chest pain, palpitations, fainting, stamina, sports clearance, and family history.
Severity grading
Findings are separated into reassurance, monitor, treat, and refer pathways so families know what matters now.
Therapeutic plan
The plan may include parent guidance, medication, allied support, school recommendations, tests, or specialist referral depending on the child’s need.
Follow-up schedule
Follow-up is scheduled by risk and response, with the same life record carrying every change forward.
Specialty depth
This is not a one-visit opinion. It is a pediatric care continuum.
Screening plans are generic. Specialty clinic care is individualised after assessment. The SKIDS Cardiac Clinic shows the breadth of what can be seen, treated, followed, and escalated under one pediatric home.
4 connected concern areas, one child.
The clinic does not treat one isolated symptom. It connects parent observations, school signals, screening findings, examination, and the child’s growth story.
From finding to treatment to follow-up.
Care may include guidance, medicines, devices, therapy, diagnostics, allied support, school advice, or specialist escalation depending on the child’s need.
Ask the SKIDS clinic manager for the right plan.
The clinic manager explains the continued-care options after assessment, including what is included, what needs referral, and how follow-up is tracked in Companion.

SKIDS Pediatrician
Runs the protocol, examines the child, makes clinical decisions, and keeps the concern connected to the whole-child record.
Cardiac care coordinator
Coordinates ECG, echo referral, sports-clearance documents, follow-up reminders, and cardiology handoff where needed.
What happens, step by step
From screening flag to active care.
A signal is noticed
A parent, teacher, screening day, or clinic visit brings forward murmur, chest pain, palpitations, fainting, stamina, sports clearance, and family history.
The pediatrician reviews the pattern
History, examination, screening results, growth, sleep, school context, and family concern are read together.
The child is matched to a continued-care plan
Simple concerns stay in primary pediatric care. Persistent, complex, or red-flag findings are escalated early.
The plan begins
The family leaves with clear next steps, home guidance, prescriptions or referrals where needed, and a record in Companion.
Follow-up protects continuity
Review cadence, reminders, outcomes, and school or allied inputs stay in the same life record.
Why a pediatrician
Why a SKIDS pediatrician with this protocol, not a scattered referral path.
Cardiac Clinic concerns often begin as ordinary parent or school observations: murmur, chest pain, palpitations, fainting, stamina, sports clearance, and family history. A pediatrician is the right first interpreter because the question is not only one organ or one symptom. It is how the child is growing, sleeping, learning, eating, playing, and coping.
SKIDS keeps primary pediatric specialty care close to the child while being clear about escalation. When a specialist is needed, the referral is coordinated with context instead of sending the family away with a fragment.
What the data says
Why this matters.
Parent observations are included in the Cardiac Clinic pathway, not left outside the visit.

SKIDS protocol libraryDifferent from a fragmented referral.
A one-off visit may name the problem. A SKIDS specialty clinic keeps the child inside a care pathway: what was found, what was started, what changed, when to review, and when escalation is needed.
Different from sending the child away too early.
SKIDS gives pediatricians specialty protocols, documentation, devices, allied coordination, and referral logic so more care can remain close to the trusted pediatric home.
