Dr. Haihong Xue (薛海虹) - Pediatric Cardiovascular Specialist
Personal Biography
Dr. Haihong Xue is a Chief Physician in the Department of Pediatrics at Xinhua Hospital, affiliated with Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine. With more than three decades of clinical experience, she focuses on the non-surgical management of pediatric cardiovascular conditions, including congenital heart disease, Kawasaki disease, viral myocarditis, pediatric cardiomyopathy and arrhythmias.
She graduated from Shanghai Second Medical University in 1991 and later completed a master’s degree (2004) and PhD (2008) in Pediatric Cardiology at Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine under Professor Sun Kun. Her work combines specialist clinical practice, postgraduate supervision and research into pediatric cardiovascular disease, giving international families a clear basis for considering a remote specialist review before medical travel to Shanghai.
Why Choose Dr. Haihong Xue for Your Child's Care?
Dr. Haihong Xue combines more than three decades of pediatric clinical experience with MD and PhD training in pediatric cardiology at Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine. As a Chief Physician at Xinhua Hospital in Shanghai, her clinical focus includes congenital heart disease, Kawasaki disease, viral myocarditis, pediatric cardiomyopathy and arrhythmias—conditions that often require careful review of prior imaging, test results, treatment history and symptom progression.
For international families, a remote specialist review or pre-travel review can help organize the child’s medical history, identify the most relevant records and questions, and obtain Dr. Xue’s professional opinion and recommendations before travel plans are finalized. This makes her profile especially relevant to families seeking specialist input on a complex or difficult-to-diagnose pediatric cardiovascular condition and clearer preparation for the next stage of care.
