David T. Humphreys is a Pediatric Cardiologist based at St Vincent's Clinical School, Sydney, NSW 2052, Australia. He looks after children and young people who need extra care for heart and related health issues.
In many cases, the kids he supports have congenital heart disease, including things like patent foramen ovale and ventricular septal defects. Some families also come in with complex medical histories, where the heart is only part of the bigger picture.
His clinical work also includes helping families dealing with conditions that can sit alongside heart problems. This can include VACTERL association, plus other medical and genetic conditions such as Myhre syndrome and Frontonasal dysplasia, and Klippel Feil syndrome. At times, there are also nutrition challenges, and he works with the wider team when malnutrition is an issue.
David also cares for children where the situation is more than just “a heart murmur” and the plan needs to be careful and steady. For example, he has experience linked to small bowel resection, and he supports families managing long-term follow-up after serious health events.
Some referrals are for newer or less common heart issues too. One example is spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD), which can be serious and needs careful heart assessment and ongoing monitoring.
He also works with children who have bowel conditions, including Crohn’s disease, where extra health checks may be needed alongside heart care.
Details about his education and overall experience (like where he trained or how many years) aren’t listed here. What is clear is that his patient focus is on kids with complex, mixed medical needs, where clear communication and a practical plan matter.
Research and clinical trial involvement also isn’t specified in the information provided. Still, he works within a clinical setting that supports teaching and patient care for children across Sydney and nearby areas.
If a child’s health affects the heart and other body systems, David’s approach is about taking it step by step and keeping the family supported through the whole process.
