What causes heart failure in children?
Over-circulation failure
About 1 percent of all newborn infants will have some type of structural heart defect. In some of these defects, there are holes between the heart’s right and left chambers. Because of these holes, the blue and red bloods mix inside the heart. A defect of blood vessels in the head or other parts of the body (AV malformation) can cause similar mixing of the blue and red blood but outside the heart.
Abnormal heart valves can also cause heart failure. An abnormally formed valve that does not close properly causes blood to leak backwards. Rarely, a strep throat infection can result in damage to otherwise normal heart valves, causing them to leak as well.
Finally, low blood (anemia) can also result in heart failure. These defects lead to over-circulation failure. In each instance, an overload blood flow pattern occurs in one or more of the sections of the heart. The normal forward blood flow is interrupted, and the heart becomes an inefficient pump.
Hope it help you.
