Heart Disease Prevention Program


Lucile Packard Children's Hospital offers personal programs for the evaluation and prevention of known or suspected heart disease or other cardiovascular conditions in children.

An exercise physiologist can prescribe safe levels of exercise to enhance health outcomes and quality of life and to manage or prevent disease progression.
