Chronic Heart Failure
In many ways, heart failure in children varies from heart failure in adults. Children of various age groups, as well as children and adults, may have distinct causes and clinical manifestations. The beginning of HF is important in determining the etiological diagnosis. In younger children, the clinical presentation of HF might be vague, necessitating a high level of suspicion. Children have a better overall result with HF than adults because HF in children is more usually caused by structural heart disease and reversible diseases that can be treated. Treatment of the cause, elimination of any precipitating event, and treatment of systemic or pulmonary congestion are among the management principles. Even though HF in adults has been the focus of substantial research and the development of evidence-based guidelines, pediatric HF faces a lack of information.
