Detection and treatment of dilated cardicardia in children

Dilated cardicardiary disease is a pathology of the myocardial muscle, characterized by the dilated dilability of the heart chambers and a decrease in the contractility of the left and/or right sysentary muscles, increased volume of the sysentary, sysentary, and often thinning of the mind that can lead to heart failure and death. The disease can occur at any age including children.

1. Dilated cardicardiary disease in children

Myocardial dilator disease is one of the common diseases of myocardial muscles, common in adolescence and middle age which is mainly between the ages of 20-50 years. Sometimes the disease can occur in both children.

The cause of myocardial dilation has so far not been clearly identified. However, it is found that risk factors can cause diseases in children such as:

  • Aortic obstruction (common in babies and infants).
  • Abnormalities in the left coronary artery come from the aortic (common in children aged 2-5 months).
  • Myocardial infarction in a child
  • Children with other heart problems such as arrhythmias, coronary obstruction … or have diseases of conversion disorders.
  • Genetic factors.

Myocardial dilability characterized by weakening of myocardial fibers reduces the likelihood of myocardial contraction resulting in insufficient blood supply to feed the body.

2. Symptoms of dilated cardicardia in children

In the early stages of illness, there are usually no obvious cardiovascular symptoms such as shortness of breath, chest pain. As the disease progresses, the following manifestations can be seen:

  • Children with chest pain, frequent shortness of breath, shortness of breath increase at night: In dilated cardicardiologist disease, initially, the heart muscle is weakened leading to a decrease in the volume of squeezing. This can be compensated by an increased heart rate mechanism to ensure cardiac output. Therefore, when the heart supply does not increase with exertion, it causes the patient to feel short of breath. By the later stages, when too much compensatory activity is required, the heart muscle is severely weakened, the risk leads to heart failure . At this time, both the cardiac output and the volume of squeezing decrease, the sysentary and sysentary volume of the mind increases, the blood oxygen saturation decreases. As a result, an increase in the difference in oxygen levels between arteries and veins, the body increases catecholamin secretion, the renin – angiotensin – aldosterone system is activated resulting in a sharp decrease in heart supply. Children have more difficulty breathing even at rest.
  • Multiple coughs, prolonged cough can be accompanied by headaches.
  • Loss of appetite, fatigue, loss of appetite, young children may show signs of breastfeeding, fuss.
  • Swelling of the feet and ankles.
  • Fast or uneven pulse, chest drum suspense.
  • The child urinates less than usual.
  • Examination can hear the sound of rans in the lungs, heart blows, palpation of the liver. In some cases there may be floating cervical veins.

Dilated cardicardiitis in children is sometimes not clearly diagnosed clinically, so it is necessary to do subclinical testssuch as MRI scans, CT scans,chest X-rays … support to be able to diagnose definitively through the image of hypertrophic myocardial muscles, increase the volume of the heart.

3. Treatment of dilated cardicardia in children

Angiotensin-converting yeast inhibitors

Medications can be used in the treatment of dilated cardicardia

Treatment of dilated cardicardia, mainly symptomatic treatment.

3.1 Drug treatment

  • The stage of issuance of the use of vascular drugs.
  • Weeds.
  • Dilated drugs, prioritizing the flow of inhibition of transfer enzymes.
  • Cardiovascular medications such as digoxin.

3.2 Non-medicinal treatment

Applicable to patients who do not respond to medication-taking medical treatment. The methods of selection of treatment are prescribed by the doctor in accordance with each different case:

  • Pacemaker implantation to correct arrhythmias.
  • Implanting defibrillators to create electrical impulses in the heart helps prevent the risk of arrhythmias.
  • Coronary artery or coronary angioplasty to increase blood flow to the heart, ensuring volume with cardiac output.
  • Heart valve surgery, replacement or repair of the heart valve.

During the treatment of dilated cardicardia, it should be noted to take the drug as prescribed by the doctor, regularly monitor the signs of heart failure, arrhythmias and nutrition of the child.

Myocardial dilator in children is not an urgent pathology, but it can cause serious complications such as heart failure with unpleasant signs for the child's body, which can even affect life. The disease needs to be detected in a timely manner in order to be able to offer appropriate treatments to avoid leaving health relics.
