What causes infant heart failure

summary

Infant heart failure is one of the common diseases in our society, which will affect our normal life. The common causes of neonatal heart failure include critical congenital heart disease, such as complex cyanotic congenital heart disease and large shunt cardiovascular malformation, patent ductus arteriosus in premature infants, myocardial damage after perinatal asphyxia, persistent pulmonary hypertension, severe arrhythmia (C Arrhythmia refers to the abnormality of frequency, rhythm, origin, conduction velocity or activation sequence of cardiac electrical activity. According to its occurrence principle, it can be divided into impulse formation abnormality and impulse conduction abnormality. What is the cause of infant heart failure.

What causes infant heart failure

First: the anatomical and physiological characteristics of children's heart: the myocardial fibers of children's heart are thin, interwoven and very loose, and there are few connective tissue and elastic fibers, but the metabolism of children is vigorous, so the burden on the heart is relatively large.

Second: hypoxia makes the production of adenosine triphosphate and phospholipase in myocardial cells insufficient, resulting in the decrease of chemical energy and the weakness of myocardial contraction. The effects of bacterial metabolites and toxins can cause myocardial damage.

Third: children with congenital heart disease, rickets and other diseases, usually have a heavy burden on the heart, once pneumonia occurs, it is more likely to cause heart failure.

matters needing attention

Clear the cause of heart failure in children with pneumonia, in the process of treatment of children with pneumonia, we must do a good job in this aspect of prevention and treatment, especially the child's nursing measures, once there are any complications, we should timely go to the regular hospital for examination and treatment, strive to be able to solve the problem in the early stage, to avoid more serious situation.
