title: [Cardiac insufficiency in children. Mechanisms and treatment].
abstract: The treatment of cardiac failure has been improved in recent years by a better knowledge of the factors that regulate the performance of the heart. In particular, we can manipulate the loading conditions of the heart, independent of, or in association with efforts to directly stimulate the contractility of the myocardium. We discuss new approaches of the treatment, especially with regard to the mechanisms of congestive heart failure.
