Children's National Heart Center

Heart and Kidney Unit Outcomes

The Heart and Kidney Unit is where we treat children with heart conditions that are not considered critical. It is also the step-down unit for patients who have previously been in the cardiac ICU and still need some care in preparation for going home. Staff in this high-volume unit are specially-trained and experienced in treating all types of congenital heart disease.
