If the diagnosis and treatment are early, the chance for survival increases. Thus, this study aimed to determine the indications for pediatric cardiology consultations in a single tertiary hospital in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study was conducted in 2020\u20132021 at a tertiary center in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Patients younger than 14 years of age who were referred by outpatient clinics or those who presented to the emergency department and needed outpatient cardiac evaluation were included in this study. Inpatient referrals were excluded.

New patients accounted for 74% of the referrals, while known patients accounted for 26%. The median age was 2.728 years, with 56.3% being male participants. The three most common reasons for referral were: evaluation of cardiac function (21.6%), follow-up evaluation of fetal\/neonatal diagnosis (19.5%), and heart murmurs (16.8%).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Most of the referrals were new patients.
