Dr. Piers C. Barker

I am a pediatric cardiologist dedicated to caring for children with heart failure, cardiomyopathies, and those who require mechanical circulatory support. My focus includes managing complex conditions like dilated, restrictive, and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, as well as caring for children with single ventricle physiology, including those with Fontan circulation. I take a personal and compassionate approach, building strong relationships with both my patients and their families. My goal is to not only treat these challenging conditions but to provide comfort, support, and a sense of hope, all while working together to improve the lives of these incredible young patients.

I am a pediatric cardiologist who specializes in cardiac imaging of the fetus and child. At the Fetal Diagnostic Center, I care for pregnant woman who come to be evaluated for fetal heart disease. I also see children in the Duke Children's Health Center Cardiology Clinic. I understand that a diagnosis of heart disease in pregnancy or childhood is overwhelming, and I strive to provide families with the knowledge and resources to navigate this difficult time and prepare for the future. We discuss the differences in their child’s heart, the care and monitoring their child will need, and what heart disease means for their child’s life long-term. In some cases, I have the privilege to care for children and their families from before birth until they are adults. Fortunately, most children with heart disease do very well, and it brings me joy to help children with heart disease grow and thrive.

I am a pediatric cardiologist who specializes in pediatric cardiac imaging, fetal/prenatal cardiology, care for cardiac patients admitted to the hospital, and outpatient cardiology. As a pediatric cardiologist, I take care of children with congenital or acquired heart disease, from birth through adolescence. I am also a fetal cardiologist who guides an expectant family with a baby who has congenital heart disease through pregnancy and delivery. Because I am both a fetal and pediatric cardiologist, I have the privilege of caring for our heart warriors and families from the very beginning in mid-pregnancy all the way to adulthood. Being able to share a special bond with patients and families over years, be a part of their unique journey, and watch each extraordinary heart warrior grow and thrive is the reason why I chose to become a physician.
