Our Coronary Anomaly Management Program (CAMP) at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) provides complete care and monitoring for children with coronary artery anomalies.
A coronary artery anomaly is a defect in one or more of the heart’s coronary arteries. Some forms of coronary anomalies are connected to an increased risk of sudden cardiac death during or just after exercise. These defects are often diagnosed in children who don’t have symptoms but have an echocardiogram done for another reason.
CAMP is the only program of its kind in the Mid-Atlantic region. Coronary artery anomalies can be difficult to manage. We bring together world-leading experts to care for children with these complex conditions.
