Myocardial ischemia is very rare in childhood but, as in the adult, it can result in very severe heart failure. The discovery of specific signs on the electrocardiogram provides a diagnostic orientation which can be confirmed by biologic data and radionuclide scans. The causes of the affections are related to the child's age group : severe fetal and neonatal anoxia in the neonate (transient myocardial ischemia syndrome) ; anomalous origin of the left coronary artery in the young infant ; acquired coronary anomalies of Kawasaki's disease in the older infant or the young child.

D007223	Infant	A child between 1 and 23 months of age.	Infants
D007231	Infant, Newborn	An infant during the first 28 days after birth.	Neonate,Newborns,Infants, Newborn,Neonates,Newborn,Newborn Infant,Newborn Infants
D009080	Mucocutaneous Lymph Node Syndrome	An acute, febrile, mucocutaneous condition accompanied by swelling of cervical lymph nodes in infants and young children. The principal symptoms are fever, congestion of the ocular conjunctivae, reddening of the lips and oral cavity, protuberance of tongue papillae, and edema or erythema of the extremities.	Kawasaki Disease,Lymph Node Syndrome, Mucocutaneous,Kawasaki Syndrome
D009202	Cardiomyopathies	A group of diseases in which the dominant feature is the involvement of the CARDIAC MUSCLE itself. Cardiomyopathies are classified according to their predominant pathophysiological features (DILATED CARDIOMYOPATHY; HYPERTROPHIC CARDIOMYOPATHY; RESTRICTIVE CARDIOMYOPATHY) or their etiological/pathological factors (CARDIOMYOPATHY, ALCOHOLIC; ENDOCARDIAL FIBROELASTOSIS).

D003327	Coronary Disease	An imbalance between myocardial functional requirements and the capacity of the CORONARY VESSELS to supply sufficient blood flow. It is a form of MYOCARDIAL ISCHEMIA (insufficient blood supply to the heart muscle) caused by a decreased capacity of the coronary vessels.

D003330	Coronary Vessel Anomalies	Malformations of CORONARY VESSELS, either arteries or veins. Included are anomalous origins of coronary arteries; ARTERIOVENOUS FISTULA; CORONARY ANEURYSM; MYOCARDIAL BRIDGING; and others.	Anomaly, Coronary Vessel,Coronary Vessel Anomaly
