Pediatric Heart Conditions We Treat at El Paso Children's Hospital include:

Also called heart valve disease, valvular heart disease is a condition in which one or more of the heart's four valves becomes damaged or malfunctions, often due to issues like narrowing (stenosis), leaking (regurgitation) or not closing as tightly as it should.

Potential causes of pediatric heart valve disease include rheumatic fever, infective endocarditis (an infection of the inner lining of the heart), certain autoimmune diseases and congenital heart defects that are present at birth.

If these issues are serious, they can impact blood flow, potentially causing symptoms like fatigue, shortness of breath or even heart failure -- a condition in which the heart isn't able to pump enough blood to meet the body's needs.
