Cardiac functional medication support / 中国小儿急救医学

ABSTRACT

Heart failure is a complex syndrome with heterogeneous etiology,some unclear mecha-nism and poor prognosis. Medication therapy is the first and most commonly used method. Although the understanding of the pathophysiological mechanism of heart failure is deepening continually and new thera-peutic medications are also being used in clinical practice. However,there are still many pathogenesis and clinical mechanism unclear and there is a lack of effective therapeutic medications. The study of heart failure in children and clinical drug therapy is far worse than that of adults. There are well-established guidelines for the management of heart failure in the adult population,but an equivalent consensus in children is lacking. High quality clinical research is needed for improving drug treatment regimens in children.
