    INTRODUCTION

    Obesity is the most prevalent nutritional disorder among children and adolescents in

    the United States. Approximately 21-24% of American children and adolescents are

    overweight, and another 16-18% is obese; the prevalence of obesity is highest among specific

    ethnic groups.1

    Using body mass index (BMI) criteria, the most recent national surveys demonstrate

    that 21-24% of American children and adolescents are overweight and that another 16-18%

    are obese. A 2012 study noted a 16.9% prevalence of obesity in children and adolescents in

    2009-2010, which is comparable to the prevalence rates reported in 2007-2008

    12

    .Thesefindings, indicate that the prevalence of overweight (BMI 85th percentile) children and

    adolescents in the US has increased by 50-60% in a single generation, and the prevalence of

    obesity has doubled. The prevalence of obesity in American Indians, Hawaiians, Hispanics,

    and blacks is 10-40% higher than in whites.

    International data reporting regarding childhood obesity varies, and accuracy may be

    less than optimal; however, Eneli and Dele Davies reported that in 77% of the countries

    analyzed, the prevalence rate for children who were overweight was at least 10%13

    . Notably,

    the highest rates for children at risk for obesity were found in Malta (25.4%) and the United

    States (25.1%). Lithuania (5.1%) and Latvia (5.9%) had the lowest rates. A recent European

    Youth Heart Study suggests Swedish children have a lower risk of becoming overweight or

    obese in adolescence compared with Estonian children14.

    Race and ethnicity are associated with increased rates of obesity in children and

    adolescents. Puerto Rican, Cuban American, and Native American preschoolers have an

    increased incidence of obesity; black, Native American, Puerto Rican, Mexican, and native

    Hawaiian school-aged children have the highest rates of obesity in this age group.

    Approximately 25% of black adolescents are obese. Rosen reported thatobstructive sleep

    apnea hypoventilation (OSA/H) is more commonly seen in black children than in Hispanic or

    white children.14 Tonsils and adenoids are at their peak size, relative to the size of the

    oropharynx, when children are aged 2-7 years.

    During the second decade of life, females are more likely to be obese than males,

    except for black teenagers, among whom males are more likely to be obese than females.

    Although the male sex is associated with an increased incidence of OSA in adults, no

    differences have been identified in children before puberty.

    Adolescent obesity is predictive of adult obesity, with 80% of teenagers who are

    obese continuing on to be obese as adults. Obesity is more likely to occur during specific

    periods of life, such as when children are aged 5-7 years and during adolescence. A recent

    European Youth Heart Study suggests male sex confers a higher risk of obesity in

    adolescence13.

    DISCUSSION

    The identification of obesity and overweight in childhood may be an important aspect

    of preventive pediatrics with implications for the promotion of physical, social, and

    emotional health for children that may be effect in adulthood. Obesity is not a disease in itselfbut rather a symptom complex with a weak association to adult obesity with its correlates of

    increased mortality, cardiovascular disease, atherosclerosis, and diabetes rates.

    Childhood obesity predisposes to insulin resistance andtype 2 diabetes,hypertension,

    hyperlipidemia, liver and renal disease, and reproductive dysfunction. This condition also

    increases the risk of adult-onset obesity and cardiovascular disease.1

    Obesity in children is a complex disorder. Its prevalence has increased so significantly

    in recent years that many consider it a major health concern of the developed world. The

    National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) indicates that the prevalence

    of obesity is increasing in all pediatric age groups, in both sexes, and in various ethnic and

    racial groups. Many factors, including genetics, environment, metabolism, lifestyle, and

    eating habits, are believed to play a role in the development of obesity. However, more than

    90% of cases are idiopathic; less than 10% are associated with hormonal or genetic causes.

    The BMI is a continuous, although imperfect, measure of body fatness. Calculated asweight (kg) divided by height (m2), BMI corrects for body size and can be readily and

    reliably quantified in clinical settings. The BMI correlates closely with total body fat (TBF),

    which is estimated using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scanning in children who

    are overweight and obese.

    Normal values for BMI vary with age, sex, and pubertal status, and standard curves

    representing the 5th through the 95th percentiles for BMI in childhood and adolescence were

    generated using data from the 1988-1994 NHANES2. Consensus committees have

    http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/925700-overviewhttp://emedicine.medscape.com/article/889877-overviewhttp://emedicine.medscape.com/article/889877-overviewhttp://emedicine.medscape.com/article/925700-overview
  • 8/13/2019 Lapkas Ika

    recommended that children and adolescents be considered overweight or obese if the BMI

    exceeds the 85th or 95th percentiles, on curves generated from the 1963-1965 and 1966-1970

    NHANES, or exceeds 30 kg/m2at any age3. McGavock et al demonstrated that low

    cardiorespiratory fitness and reductions in fitness over time are significantly associated with

    weight gain and the risk of being overweight in children aged 6-15 years. Analysis on a

    cohort of 902 schoolchildren showed higher waist circumference and disproportionate weight

    gain over a 12-month follow-up period in those children with low cardiorespiratory fitness.

    The 12-month risk of overweight classification was 3.5-fold higher in youth with low

    cardiorespiratory fitness, relative to fit peers4. Reductions in cardiorespiratory fitness were

    significantly and independently associated with increasing BMI. Low levels of

    cardiorespiratory fitness have also been associated with elevated depressive symptoms in

    obese adolescents4.

    One study suggests that a lack of adequate sleep time in young children is associated

    with increased BMI; this observation is independent of other confounding variables (eg,

    physical activity)5. Furthermore, data indicate that over a 5-year period an increase in BMI

    among overweight children 6 to 11 years of age is associated with increases in both systolic

    and diastolic blood pressure, as well as with a decrease in sleep time6.

    Recognize that a loss of 5-20% of total body weight can reduce many of the health

    risks associated with obesity in adults; however, whether modest weight loss or moderate

    reductions in BMI can improve outcomes in pediatric patients or reduce the long-term risks

    of obesity in adulthood is not known. Because dramatic reductions in BMI are difficult to

    achieve and sustain in children and adolescents as well as adults, initiating counseling and

    therapy may be prudent with realistic goals that emphasize gradual reductions in body fat and

    BMI and maintenance of weight loss rather than a rapid return to ideal body weight.

    Reductions in body weight are accompanied by equivalent reductions in energy expenditure.

    Consequently, maintenance of a given weight in a patient with obesity necessitates a lower

    energy intake than maintenance of an equivalent weight in a patient who has never been

    obese.13

    The most likely causes of pediatric congestive heart failure depend on the age of the c

    hild. Congestive heart failure in fetus, or hydrops, can be detected by performing fetal echoca

    rdiography. In older children, congestive heart failure may be caused by left sided obstructive

    disease (valvar or subvalvar aortic stenosis or coarctation), myocardial dysfunction (myocard

  • 8/13/2019 Lapkas Ika

    18/23

    itis or cardiomyopathy), hypertension, renal failure, or, more rarely, arrhythmias or myocardi

    al ischemia. Illicit drugs such as inhaled cocaine and other stimulants are increasingly precipit

    ating causes of congestive heart failure in adolescents; therefore, an increased suspicion of dr

    ug use is warrantened in unexplained congestive heart failure7.

    Congestive heart failure occurs when the heart can no longer meet the metabolic dema

    nds of the body at normal physiologic venous pressures. Typically, the heart can respond to i

    ncreased demands by means of 1 of the following :

    1. Increasing the heart rate, which is controlled by neural and humoral input

    2. Increasing the cintractility of the ventricels, secondary to circulating

    catecholamines and autonomic input.

    3. Augmenting the preload, medicated by constriction of the venous capacitate

    vessels and the renal preservation of intravascular volume.

    Many classes of disorders can result in increased cerdiac demand or impaired cardiac

    function. Cardiac causes include arrythmias (tachicardia or bradycardia), structural heart dise

    ase, and myocardial dysfunction (systolic or diastolic).

    Cardiac rhythm disorders may caused by following :

    Complete heart block

    Supraventricular Tachycardia

    Ventricular Tachycardia

    Sinus node dysfunction

    Volume overload may be caused by the following :

    Structural heart defect

    Anemia

    Sepsis

    Pressure overload may be caused by the following :

    Structural heart defect

    Hypertension

    Systolic ventricular dysfunction or failure may be caused by the following :

    myocarditis

    dilated cardiomyophaty

    malnutrition

    ischemia

    Diastolic ventricular dysfunction or failure may be caused by the following :

  • 8/13/2019 Lapkas Ika

    19/23

    hypertropic cardiomyophaty

    restrictive cardiomyophaty

    pericarditis

    cardiac tamponade (pericardial effusion)8

    Thorough history taking and physical examination, including an assessment of the up

    per-extremity and lower-extremity blood pressures, are crucial in the evaluation of an infant o

    r child with congestive heart failure.

    Regardless of the etiology, the first manifestation of congestive heart failure is usually

    tachycardia. An obvious exception to this finding occurs in congestive heart failure due to a

    primary bradyarrhythmia or completeheart block.

    As the severity of congestive heart failure increases, signs of venous congestion

    usually ensue. Left-sided heart failure is generally associated with signs of pulmonary venous

    congestion, whereas right-sided heart failure is associated with signs of systemic venous

    congestion. Marked failure of either ventricle, however, can affect the function of the other,

    leading to systemic and pulmonary venous congestion.

    Later stages of congestive heart failure are characterized by signs and symptoms of

    low cardiac output. Generally, congestive heart failure with normal cardiac output is called

    compensated congestive heart failure, and congestive heart failure with inadequate cardiac

    output is considered decompensated.

    Signs of congestive heart failure vary with the age of the child. Signs of pulmonary

    venous congestion in an infant generally include tachypnea, respiratory distress (retractions),

    grunting, and difficulty with feeding. Often, children with congestive heart failure have

    diaphoresis during feedings, which is possibly related to a catecholamine surge that occurs

    when they are challenged with eating while in respiratory distress.

    Right-sided venous congestion is characterized by hepatosplenomegaly and, less

    frequently, by edema or ascites. Jugular venous distention is not a reliable indicator of

    systemic venous congestion in infants, because the jugular veins are difficult to observe. In

    addition, the distance from the right atrium to the angle of the jaw may be no more than 8-10

    cm, even when the individual is sitting upright.

    Uncompensated congestive heart failure in an infant primarily manifests as a failure to

    thrive. In severe cases, failure to thrive may be followed by signs of renal and hepatic failure.

    In older children, left-sided venous congestion causes tachypnea, respiratory distress, and

    wheezing (cardiac asthma). Right-sided congestion may result in hepatosplenomegaly,

    jugular venous distention, edema, ascites, and/or pleural effusions. Older children with

    uncompensated congestive heart failure may have fatigue or lower-than-usual energy levels.

    Patients may complain of cool extremities, abdominal pain, nausea/vomiting, exercise

    intolerance, dizziness, or syncope9.

    If the underlying cause of the congestive heart failure cannot be immediately

    corrected in a patient who is hemodynamically stable, outpatient management can be initiated

    by using several agents. Afterload reduction using an ACE inhibitor is indicated in the

    presence of left ventricular (LV) dysfunction, regardless of symptoms.

    Afterload reduction is indicated in patients who have large left-to-right shunts at the

    ventricular or arterial level (ventricular septal defect or patent ductus arteriosus), left-sided

    regurgitant lesions (aortic insufficiency or mitral regurgitation), or poor systolic function

    (myocarditis or dilated cardiomyopathy). ACE inhibitors are the medications of choice.

    Alternatively, an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB), such as losartan, may be used in

    patients in whom ACE adverse effects (particularly cough) may be unacceptable10.

    In addition to afterload reduction (ACE inhibitor), low-dose furosemide (1

    mg/kg/dose PO bid) may be initiated, with or without the addition of another agent for

    inotropic effect (digoxin), or beta-blockade (carvedilol) to treat mild symptoms of congestive

    heart failure The dose of digoxin (0.005-0.010 mg/kg/day PO divided twice daily, not to

    exceed 0.125-0.250 mg PO qd) is almost never increased, either for effect or according to

    digoxin levels, which are notoriously unreliable. However, the dose may be decreased in the

    presence of signs of toxicity. The suspicion of digoxin toxicity should increase if an infant is

    uninterested in feedings, gags, or vomits frequently. These symptoms are typically due to an

    overdose or renal failure.

    For more severe congestive heart failure, diuretic therapy with oral furosemide may

    be increased to 2 mg/kg/dose orally 3 times daily or a second agent, such as

    hydrochlorothiazide or metolazone, can be added. To be most effective, hydrochlorothiazide

    and metolazone are best administered simultaneously with furosemide to achieve their

    synergistic effect11.
