Cardiac outpatient services are provided in the Rady Children's Hospital Cardiology Clinic  and at the associated Satellite clinics. Nearly 10,000 patient visits occur in these clinics each year. Infants, children, teenagers and young adults are seen for a variety of problems. The most common reasons for new referrals to one of our cardiologists are heart murmurs, chest pain, and fainting.

In addition to the general cardiology clinics, there is a weekly clinic for patients with Kawasaki Disease directed by Dr. Jane Burns and a clinic for heart failure and transplant patients, directed by Dr. Juan Alejos. Each of our cardiologists with subspecialties in particular areas such as catheterization procedures and heart rhythm disorders/pacemakers has weekly clinics as well.

There are also satellite clinics in the Encinitas, Escondido, El Centro, and Murietta offices which are available to both new and established patients for families' convenience.
