The etiology of heart failure in children caused a lot during heart failure in children less than 1 year old to the highest incidence rates, particularly in the areas of congenital heart disease were the most common cause, endocardial fibroelastosis, dilated cardiomyopathy, congenital heart disease also an important reason. Induced heart failure often causes bronchial pneumonia, severe anemia, electrolyte imbalance and lack of oxygen, etc..
According hemodynamics and pathophysiological changes of heart failure can be broadly divided into:
1, muscle contraction dysfunction (cardiac failure): congestive heart failure due to various reasons, including myocarditis, dilated cardiomyopathy, endocardial fibroelastosis of Kawasaki disease;
2, Room overloading, is divided into: ventricular overload before (volume overload), including left-to-right shunt congenital heart disease, valvular regurgitation of the disease, such as infusion too much too fast; ventricular after load too heavy (pressure overload), including aortic stenosis and pulmonary valve stenosis, coarctation of the aorta and pulmonary atresia; 3, room filling obstacles include: constrictive pericarditis, pericardial tamponade, restrictive or hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, etc..
