Learning About Pediatric Heart Diseases and Disorders Pediatricheart diseaseencompasses a broad range of conditions affecting how a child’s heart develops or functions. Childhood heart conditions are mostly due to congenital defects or developmental abnormalities, while adult heart problems often result from lifestyle related issues like cholesterol, blood pressure, or smoking. There are two primary categories: •Congenital Heart Disease (CHD): Structural defects in the heart at birth. CHD is the most frequent congenital defect, occurring in about 1 in every 100 live births. •Acquired Heart Disease: These are acquired after birth as a result of infection, autoimmune diseases, or other diseases. Although less frequent than CHDs, they can be just as severe and require immediate treatment. Conditions such as valve malformations, abnormal heart rhythms, and inflammation of the heart muscle can all affect a child's ability to grow, play, and have an active life. Early recognition and appropriate management can significantly impact prognosis. Common Types of Heart Conditions in Children

Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) A gap between the heart's upper chambers (atria), which may permit blood to travel in the wrong direction. Tiny ASDs can close spontaneously; larger ones will need surgery. 2. Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) A defect in the wall between the heart's lower chambers. It is among the most usual congenital abnormalities. 3. Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) A fetal blood vessel that doesn't close after birth, resulting in abnormal blood flow between the pulmonary artery and the aorta. 4. Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) A serious condition with four defects in the heart. This is often treated early by surgery. 5. Kawasaki Disease An inflammatory condition that predominantly occurs in children under the age of five, it can lead to inflammation in the blood vessels, including the coronary arteries. 6. Arrhythmias Irregular heart rhythms may be caused by problems in the electrical system. Some are benign, but some can require medication or equipment such as pacemakers. 7.

These are the warning signs parents must not ignore: •Bluish color to lips, tongue, or fingertips (cyanosis) •Difficulty breathing, particularly with feeding or activity •Poor weight gain or failure to thrive •Increased frequency of respiratory infections •Excessive sweating, particularly during feeding •Chest pain or feeling of tightness (in older children) •Fainting spells •Swelling of the legs, ankles, or stomach •Irregular or rapid heartbeats If your child shows one or more of these symptoms, see a pediatric cardiologist right away. Complications in the future can be avoided with early intervention. Diagnosis: How Heart Conditions Are Detected in Children

  5. Pediatric cardiac diagnosis has become sophisticated and non-invasive. Early detection, particularly in infants or during pregnancy, is critical. Most common diagnostic equipment includes: •Fetal Echocardiography: Can identify heart defects while the baby is still in the womb (as early as 18–22 weeks pregnant). •Echocardiogram (ECHO): Provides pictures of the heart and its chambers, valves, and vessels using sound waves. •Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG): Takes measurements of the electrical activity of the heart. •Chest X-ray: Assists in identifying heart enlargement or fluid collection in the lungs. •Pulse Oximetry: It is a measure of oxygen levels in the blood that may indicate underlying heart problems. •MRI or CT Scan: It gives intense images of the structures of the heart. •Cardiac Catheterization: It is an invasive procedure employed when intricate treatment planning or accurate measurement is required.
