Canadian Cardiovascular Society Issues Guidelines to Improve Early Diagnosis and Effective Treatment of Heart Failure in Children

Heart failure in children is an important cause of childhood health problems and death. The Children’s Heart Failure Study Group of the Canadian Cardiovascular Society, in collaboration with the Canadian Pediatric Cardiology Association, has developed new guidelines to assist practitioners in primary care and emergency departments to recognize and successfully manage heart failure in children with undiagnosed heart disease and symptoms of possible heart failure. The guidelines are published in the December issue of the Canadian Journal of Cardiology.
