Abstract

In contrast to the adult age group, epidemiologic studies on heart failure (HF) in the pediatric population are lacking. The aim of this prospective study was to analyze the epidemiology of HF during infancy and childhood. Of the 1,196 children with congenital and acquired heart diseases, primarily diagnosed during a 10-y period in one hospital, we identified those patients who developed HF. Within 10 y, 1,196 children with heart disease were indexed. Heart failure occurred in 124 of these patients (10.4%): 64 out of 1,031 children with congenital heart diseases (6.2%), 13 out of 96 children with rhythm or conduction disturbances (13.5%), 23 out of 39 children with acquired heart diseases (59.0%), and 24 out of 30 children with cardiomyopathies (80.0%). Heart failure occurred in 72 cases (58.1%) during the first year of life. The incidence in infancy was much more pronounced for congenital heart diseases than for other cardiac conditions. The mortality associated with HF and its cause was also lower for children with congenital heart disease (4.7%) than for the other cardiac conditions (8.7%, 23.0%, and 25.0%, for acquired heart diseases, rhythm disturbances, and cardiomyopathies, respectively). Clear differences exist between ...Continue Reading

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle, that can lead to muscular or electrical dysfunction of the heart. It is often an irreversible disease that is associated with a poor prognosis. There are different causes and classifications of cardiomyopathies. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to this disease.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.

Cardiac Conduction System

The cardiac conduction system is a specialized tract of myocardial cells responsible for maintaining normal cardiac rhythm. Discover the latest research on the cardiac conduction system here.

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.
