Congestive Heart Failure Children. Early identification and treatment can reduce symptom severity and may affect outcomes. 6 this finding reported in multiple series 7 10 contributed a unique pediatric. The most common cause of pediatric heart failure remained rheumatic fever 5 but in the 1950s the novel concept that congenital heart disease disproportionately caused heart failure in infancy began to gain currency. In children congestion in the liver often is a better measure of right sided failure than visible signs of swelling.
Systematic study of heart failure in children began in earnest in the mid 20th century. 6 this finding reported in multiple series 7 10 contributed a unique pediatric. The second cause for congestive heart failure is when the heart muscle is not strong enough to pump a normal amount of blood. Congestive heart failure in children. In children congestion in the liver often is a better measure of right sided failure than visible signs of swelling. When the left side of the heart fails it is unable to pump blood to the body efficiently.
Breathing becomes faster and more difficult.
Early identification and treatment can reduce symptom severity and may affect outcomes. The first over circulation failure occurs when blood mixes inside the heart due to a congenital heart defect. The most common cause of pediatric heart failure remained rheumatic fever 5 but in the 1950s the novel concept that congenital heart disease disproportionately caused heart failure in infancy began to gain currency. 6 this finding reported in multiple series 7 10 contributed a unique pediatric. Blood begins to back up into the vessels in the lungs and the lungs become stressed. A major cause of this type of congestive heart failure in babies is when structures on the left side of the heart are so small or narrowed that blood has a difficult time ejecting from the heart leading to backup into the lungs.
