Pediatric Cardiomyopathy, Heart Failure, and Transplantation Program

The Comprehensive Pediatric Cardiomyopathy, Heart Failure, and Transplantation Program of NewYork-Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital offers state-of-the-art pediatric cardiovascular care, beginning with a comprehensive evaluation that allows us to understand your child's heart problem fully. We take great pride in providing individualized management for our patients and their families. We recognize that family-oriented, comprehensive care and follow-up are critical to achieving a successful outcome. We understand that parents and caregivers are key members of the child's healthcare team, and we work closely with you and with your child's referring physicians to implement the best plan of care.

Our treatment plan takes advantage of the most advanced medical therapies, as well as cutting-edge interventions in cardiology and open-heart surgery procedures, including cardiac transplantation. Our transplant program dates back to 1984, when the world's first successful pediatric heart transplant was performed at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center on a 4-year-old boy with complex congenital heart disease. Since then, our Pediatric Heart Transplant Program has continued to advance that proud tradition of leadership in pediatric heart transplantation. Our surgeons have performed over 265 heart transplants in children making NewYork-Presbyterian one of the largest pediatric heart transplant centers in North America and the world.

The goal of our program is to return children to their childhood. We provide our young patients and their families with the support and treatments necessary to lead as normal a life as possible.
