Heartpedia

Congenital heart defects can be difficult to visualize and explain. Heartpedia, created by Cincinnati Children's Hospital, allows you to interact with 3D models of pediatric heart anomalies and defects. Healthcare providers may use these anatomically-correct models as visual learning tools to help educate patients and families on specific defects and repairs. Heartpedia may also be helpful to patients and families who want to learn more on their own or to share the details of a defect with concerned friends and family. Cincinnati Children’s believes that supplying the right information and tools ultimately results in the highest level of care and the best outcomes.

Great resource for expecting Heart parents. It needs more defect descriptions. My son's defect is very rare and is not listed. Pulmonary Vein Stenosis.

AWESOME!

I heard about this app through a friend and love it! I am an echo tech who does combined adults/peds and think this is a wonderful resource to have on hand for a quick reference when doing my congenital patients! I am going to pass this one along. Thank you!

Great overview

This is a great overview, but focuses on CHDs. Given Cincinnati Children's status as a center of excellence for pediatric cardiomyopathy, perhaps those issues could be displayed as well? Furthermore, it would be great to see a 3D model of a transplanted pediatric heart, as that is the end game for many children with heart issues.
