Doreen deFaria Yeh, MD, from Massachusetts General Hospital said that while not all facilities have a certified congenital heart doctor technology allows for consultations to be made remotely before the patient needs to be seen in person. Yeh said a recent statement from the American Heart Association provided better guidance on how to make those referrals to give patients the help they need when they need it.
