Core Tip

Core Tip: Heart failure in children has variable congenital and acquired etiologies depending on the age and sociodemographic origin. In limited resource settings, heart failure is mostly due to unrepaired congenital heart disease, rheumatic heart disease and unique cardiomyopathies. Management in such settings is complicated by late presentation and limited access to medical and interventional therapies.
