Congestive heart failure in newborns and children may have a myriad range of manifestations and be quite subtle in the early phases. This talk will discuss the challenge of early diagnosis of CHF in newborns and children (i.e. diagnosing before the child is critically ill so that there is time to plan management electively). It shall also cover the principles of physiological classification of structural heart disease and management, basic principles of inotrope use and timing of surgical interventions.
