Heart To Heart

Heart to Heart is a monthly newsletter from the experts at the Heart Center at Arkansas Children's Hospital. Our team of pediatric cardiologists, heart surgeons, cardiovascular perfusionists, nurses and other specialty trained caregivers have assembled together the articles and other educational materials in Heart to Heart to educate the people we serve.

If your child has been diagnosed with a heart condition or is about to undergo treatment for a specific condition, if you are a cardiologist reviewing information for a possible patient referral or a professional looking for more information about the topics in the field of cardiology and cardiovascular surgery, Heart to Heart is an excellent resource.

If you miss an edition of Heart to Heart, the archived issues will be available online.

For more information or to submit article ideas, contact Trenda Ray, APN, MNSc, Pediatric and Congenital Cardiac Surgery office at (501) 364-5864.
