Spotting cardiovascular issues can be tricky with children. Experts explain what to look for and ways to protect their heart health long-term.
Heart issues in kids can be more subtle and present differently than adults.
But not all heart disease starts in utero. O’Brien said these are known as acquired heart issues, and don’t develop until early childhood or beyond. Here are some of the red flags that your child may be dealing with heart issues. Plus, some advice on what you can do to help keep your kid’s heart healthy, so they don’t have a problem down the road during adulthood.If you find your child sweating profusely regardless of the weather, that could be a warning sign for a heart issue.
“While your newborn will be monitored after birth, if you get home and notice they have blue lips or extremities, this can be cyanotic heart disease which results in low blood oxygen level and should be mentioned to a paediatrician,” Ludormirsky added.The same complaint that fires off warning bells for adults when it comes to their heart can also be worrisome when children start to complain about it, too. Just keep in mind, however, that kids may express this pain differently than adults.
