In the Doctor Answers section, a pediatric cardiologist and an
ultrasound diagnostic doctor @heartinstitute-ua.bsky.social
tells you what to do if your child is diagnosed with a congenital heart defect 🫀

If the defect was detected prenatal (during pregnancy), you need:
✅ Confirm the diagnosis
January 1, 2026 at 11:44 PM
Sometimes a primary conclusion needs clarification. Get a fetal echoCG with a specialist experienced in the diagnosis of congenital heart defects (usually these are cardiac surgery centers).
Specify the type of defect, its hemodynamics and prognosis.
✅ Assess the risks for the fetus
January 1, 2026 at 11:35 PM
Is there a threat to the health and life of the fruit
Is it necessary to observe more often
✅ Determine the birth plan
Where to give birth: regular maternity home or closer to the cardiocenter
Do you need an urgent correction after birth
✅ Preparing for the postpartum route
January 1, 2026 at 11:30 PM
Parents need to know:
▫️ What examinations will be after childbirth
▫️ Will the baby be in intensive care
▫️ What methods of correction defects exist and all possible risks

If the defect was detected after birth, you need:
✅ Immediately after delivery confirm diagnosis
January 1, 2026 at 11:25 PM
▫️ Echo kg in children's cardiologist in the profile cardiologíănomu center
▫️ To assess the child's condition
✅ Identify the Tactics:
▫️ Observation
▫️ Medication therapy
▫️ Catheteral intervention
▫️ Surgical correction (urgent/scheduled)

If the defect is detected in older age (1-18 years)
January 1, 2026 at 11:21 PM
This happens because some congenital heart defects manifest later:
▫️ The defect did not give symptoms (for example, the defect of the interpreterserdnoi intersection)
▫️ Stenosis / regurgitation progression
▫️ Accidental finding - so-called "silent" defects without noise in the heart
January 1, 2026 at 11:14 PM
The algorithm of action:
1️⃣ Repeated echo kg in children's cardiologist
2️⃣ Assess the impact on the heart (overload, pressure in the pulmonary artery)
3️⃣ Determine if correction is needed
4️⃣ Establish an observation schedule

Two children in extremely serious condition. Help is needed!
December 13, 2025 at 7:54 PM
Straw visited us at Heart institute on a planned review
together with parents. It's been two and a half years since the heart transplant. ❤️
Our little patient has everything great: the heart works exactly and reliably.
December 13, 2025 at 7:51 PM
For @borystodurov.bsky.social Solomijka painted a nice
picture!
We are, as always, delighted with the meeting and successes of our star.
We wish her good health and only forward - keep it up! 💪 🫶 🫶

🚨 !!
Call to all transplant coordinators of Ukrainian hospitals 🙌

Two of our patients - 18 and 16 years old - waiting for a heart
transplant at Heart Institude have worsened in the last
24 hours. One of them went into cardiac arrest that night ❤️ 🩹
November 25, 2025 at 3:01 AM
the only chance we can save these babies is a heart transplant on time 🫀
Please notify the Ukrainian Transplant Coordination Center about potential donors promptly and without delay.

Together we can save the lives of these children 🙏

👁️ Today is the Day of the Ophthalmologist!
A perfect moment to remind you: the eyes can tell about the condition of your heart as much as a cardiogram 🙌
November 11, 2025 at 9:01 PM
At the Heart Institute Ophthalmologists work side-by-side with cardiologists to detect vascular problems before serious symptoms appear.
November 11, 2025 at 9:00 PM
See the carousel on why an ophthalmologist is important, even for the heart, how one review helped save a patient, and when to book an appointment. 👉

For the first time in Ukraine, our team Інститут серця МОЗ
України published the results of the work in the most influential journal of heart and lung transplantation in the world "The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation"💙💛

Heart transplantation in Ukraine during wartime: A retrospective cohort study of standard vs marginal donor heart transplantation outcomes" ("transplantation of the heart in Ukraine during the war: a retrospective cahort study of transplantation results of standard and marginal donor hearts")

Our research is unique, we have shown the world how heart transplants are performed during war and why Ukrainian heart surgery does not stop even in difficult conditions.

Main Feature: Comparison of the results of transplantation of standard and marginal hearts.
October 27, 2025 at 6:10 PM
Marginal hearts are those that were previously considered unfit: with longer ischemic periods, those that require coronary arteries stenting, valve plastic, or special donor perfusion. We've proven that even such complex organs can save lives ❤️🩹
October 27, 2025 at 6:08 PM
Described how we transport donor hearts in conditions of war and adapt world protocols to Ukrainian realities.
Thanks to cooperation with the magazine's editor-in-chief Joseph Rogers and Professor Göran Dellgren from Sweden, we managed to show the world Ukrainian expertise 🙌
October 27, 2025 at 6:08 PM
Currently, we are the only ones in Ukraine who have publications in this magazine. But this is only the beginning, we have opened the way to represent the advances of Ukrainian cardiac surgery on a global level.

4 heart transplants in 1 night. Even in America this doesn't
happen often, but this is the case when as doctors we were lucky enough to have our team become part of all 4 rescue stories.
