Which paediatric and fetal cardiology examinations does Professor Jovan Košutić perform?

At Puls Cardiology Centre, Professor Jovan Košutić performs paediatric cardiology examinations for babies, children and adolescents who are suspected of having a congenital heart defect, heart murmur, rapid or irregular heartbeat, fatigue, chest pain, dizziness or reduced tolerance to physical activity. The assessment may include an echocardiogram, which provides a detailed evaluation of the heart’s structure and function, as well as an exercise stress test to assess how the heart responds during physical exertion. Patients can also book an interpretation of Holter ECG, ambulatory blood pressure monitoring and combined Holter monitoring results with Professor Košutić. These tests allow heart rhythm and blood pressure levels to be monitored during normal daily activities, which is particularly useful when symptoms occur intermittently and cannot be detected during a single examination.

Professor Košutić also performs fetal echocardiograms, which assess the development and function of the baby’s heart during pregnancy. Following the examination, parents receive a detailed and clear explanation of the findings, together with recommendations for further monitoring, additional diagnostic tests or the next check-up, depending on the child’s age and condition. To arrange a detailed assessment or a fetal echocardiogram, book an appointment with Professor Jovan Košutić through our website or call the telephone number provided on our contact page.

Advanced training:

During 1990-1991-seven months in the field of pediatric cardiology at The Royal Brompton Hospital, London, with Dr. E.A. Shinebourne, and then, for the next five months at The Boston Children`s Hospital, Harvard Medical School, with special emphasis on pediatric interventional cardiology.

Upon his return to the country, he introduced, for the first time in our region, interventional catheterization procedures (balloon dilatation, stents) in congenital obstructive lesions of the left heart (coarctation, aortic stenosis).

1994-2019 – Ten 14-day stays in London at the knowledge innovation courses ‘Cardiology in the Young,’ which are jointly organized every 2 years by The Hospital for Sick Children, Great Ormond Street, and The Institute of Child Health.”
