How is infantile heart failure to return a responsibility?
summary
Heart failure in children is a very harmful disease, which may threaten life and health. In clinic, some children with heart failure, not able to be admitted to hospital in time, it is easy to lead to deterioration. Pediatric experts also remind parents and friends: if you suspect your child has heart failure, you must be admitted to hospital in time. Now, let's introduce the related information of pediatric heart failure.
How is infantile heart failure to return a responsibility?
Heart failure is usually defined as pathophysiological concept, that is, heart failure is cardiac dysfunction, cardiac output can not meet the needs of the body. Clinically, heart failure is a serious stage of various heart diseases. It is a syndrome, which consists of four parts: cardiac dysfunction, decreased exercise tolerance, pulmonary systemic circulation congestion, and arrhythmia in the later stage. The other three parts are the clinical manifestations of compensatory mechanism of cardiac insufficiency. Left ventricular function is usually measured by echocardiography. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) indicates that LVEF ≤ 40% is left ventricular dysfunction.
Only cardiac dysfunction, no signs of heart failure, said asymptomatic heart failure. During this period, the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and cardiac output (CO) decreased, and the pathophysiological changes of neuroendocrine activation and ventricular remodeling appeared, but they were in the adaptive response or compensatory stage.
From left ventricular dysfunction to heart failure symptoms, often through a long period, can be as long as several years. The two can be a continuous process, but also alternate. Early intervention of asymptomatic heart failure can delay the progress of heart failure and improve the prognosis. Heart failure can be divided into acute and chronic heart failure according to its onset; They were divided into left heart failure, right heart failure and total heart failure; According to cardiac output, it can be divided into high output and low output failure; Because of the damage of cardiac systolic or diastolic function, it can be divided into systolic failure and diastolic failure. Chronic low cardiac output systolic heart failure is more common. Heart failure is a common emergency in pediatrics.
matters needing attention
Because children are in the stage of growing up, if they suffer from heart failure at this time, they not only need long-term treatment, but also may affect their healthy development. Therefore, parents must pay attention to the health care of their children. When children's heart failure is found, they should go to the hospital as soon as possible to check their children.
