Advances in medical and surgical care allow more than 90% of such children to enter adulthood. Familial and acquired heart diseases, such as Kawasaki disease (KD), viral myocarditis, cardiomyopathies, and rheumatic heart disease, are also a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in children. Pediatric cardiac care includes not only the diagnosis and treatment of congenital and acquired heart disease, but also the prevention of risk factors for adult cardiovascular disease—obesity, smoking, and hyperlipidemia.
