**Pediatric Cardiology: Heart Diseases in Children**

Cardiac Diseases in Children

Pediatric cardiology addresses heart conditions that children experience. Throughout the life cycle from conception to death, individuals may encounter multiple diseases. These diseases manifest both psychologically and physically. Scientists, drawing strength from science and utilizing technology, make new discoveries and inventions to find cures for diseases. These developments occur in every field such as internal medicine, gastrointestinal diseases, circulatory diseases, and neurological diseases, as well as in cardiology. Especially the advances made in Pediatric Cardiology – Cardiac Diseases in Children provide hope for parents and children. So what is Pediatric Cardiology and what are the Cardiac Diseases Seen in Children? Let us examine this together.

What is Pediatric Cardiology?

Babies complete their cardiac development within approximately 60 days after conception. This is to allow the fetus to complete its development fully.

From the period in the mother's womb until the age of 18, every individual is considered a child, and when cardiac problems and diseases develop, they are referred to the pediatric cardiology department.

Pediatric cardiology is the medical specialty that undertakes the diagnosis and treatment of all cardiac diseases and conditions that occur in children aged 0-18 years, including the fetus in the womb. What is Pediatric Cardiology can briefly be explained in this manner.

What are the Cardiac Diseases Seen in Children?

Cardiac conditions are seen in people of all ages. However, cardiac conditions seen in children are examined under two categories. These are cardiac conditions present from birth and cardiac conditions that develop later. If we need to explain these for you, we can briefly describe them as follows.

Congenital cardiac conditions are as follows:

• Holes in the heart walls,

• Narrowing in the heart vessels,

• Narrowing of the heart valves,

• Underdeveloped heart chambers,

• Underdeveloped heart valves,

• Underdeveloped heart vessels,

such conditions are present from birth. However, there are more than 2,000 congenital cardiac diseases.

Acquired cardiac conditions are as follows:

• Development of functional disorder in the heart,

• Insufficiency of heart valves,

• Inadequate contraction force in heart contractions,

• Other diseases developing in the body affecting the heart,

such acquired conditions also exist. What are the Cardiac Diseases Seen in Children can briefly be explained in this manner.

What are the Symptoms of Cardiac Diseases Seen in Children?

• Rapid breathing,

• Palpitations,

• Presence of heart murmur,

• Cyanosis in the child,

such conditions can answer the question What are the Symptoms of Cardiac Diseases Seen in Children.

How are Cardiac Diseases in Children Diagnosed?

One of the situations that worries and frightens most parents is their children becoming ill. While some diseases pass with routine medication and rest at home, others can be serious enough to frighten families. One of these diseases is cardiac disease. These conditions, which seriously affect a person's life, also reduce the quality of life of both the child and the family.

In order to quickly understand the symptoms that occur, first the family must know their child well and trust their words. The child should be carefully observed, symptoms should be clearly noticed, and complaints the child expresses verbally should be taken seriously. Because, as in all diseases, early diagnosis in cardiac diseases is very important and life-saving.

When parents notice symptoms occurring in their child, they should first consult a cardiology specialist for diagnosis. So how are Cardiac Diseases in Children Diagnosed can briefly be explained as follows:

• Cardiac catheterization and angiography testing,

• Cardiac electrocardiography,

• Holter EKG monitoring,

• Telecardiography imaging method,

• Echocardiography imaging method,

• Color Doppler Echocardiography,

• Electrophysiology,

• Stress test application,

How are Cardiac Diseases in Children Treated?

One of the most frequently asked questions is How are Cardiac Diseases in Children Treated. However, at this stage, it would not be appropriate to provide detailed information. This is because treatment options vary depending on the child's age, type of disease, severity of the disease, damage caused by the disease, and disease stage.

Most cardiac diseases are treated through surgical operation. However, with advancing science and technology, the success rate of treatment has significantly increased. At this stage, the most important detail for you is to proceed with the treatment process under the supervision of an expert and experienced cardiology specialist.
