Congenital heart failure means a child is born with a heart that struggles to pump blood effectively. Early intervention and specialized care can significantly improve outcomes.
Symptoms include tiredness, breathing issues, and rapid heartbeat. Recognizing these early signs can help doctors diagnose and begin treatment to improve the child's health.
Doctors use tests like echocardiograms, MRIs, and blood work to understand the heart’s structure and function, guiding them in choosing the best treatment plan.
Medications can improve heart function, ease symptoms, and control fluid retention, helping children breathe easier and gain more energy for daily activities.
In some cases, surgery is essential to repair heart defects. Corrective surgery can strengthen the heart’s ability to pump blood and support overall health.
Catheter procedures, which are minimally invasive, allow doctors to repair certain heart defects without open surgery, resulting in quicker recovery for children.
Balanced diets, gentle exercise, and regular medical follow-ups are essential lifestyle changes that support heart health and manage symptoms over the long term.
Post-treatment rehabilitation, including physical therapy, helps children regain strength, adapt to daily activities, and live active lives with improved heart health.
