Description

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.

Heart Mom Abby ,

Awesome!

Love this! Although my son's main defect isn't on here (congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries) it is a great concept! I love that you can slice it and go back and forth between the normal heart and the defected heart. Makes it a lot easier to understand. I would love to see CCTGA on there as well :)

Excellent resource!

Cincinnati Children's has consistently been ahead of the game providing web-based educational tools. This app continues in that tradition!

As a CVICU RN and pediatric nursing clinical instructor, I have used this app on numerous occasions as a resource to teach patients, families, colleagues, and nursing students about the complexities of CHD.

While not an exhaustive resource, I believe this app to be an indispensable resource and welcomed addition to my educational toolkit. I look forward to continued updates!

MAX's heart MOM ❤️💙❤️ ,

Love ❤️

Overall it is a great app to explain and show your child's defect(s) to everyone. However, I wish that we could choose many different defects and put it in one heart to see the many defects your child might have at once! ❤️💙❤️
