“…These symptoms might be attributed to more severe cardiac morbidity, which subsequently leads to more physical disability and inability to participate in sports and other social activities, which consequently reduces social participation and acceptance by peers. Low selfesteem and negative self-concept were previously reported in male adolescents with congenital heart disease and were also attributed to reduced physical ability interfering with peer relationships [10]. Situational anxiety levels were also reported to be increased in patients with congenital heart disease in another recent study [34], although a rather normal generalized anxiety pattern was reported in that study.…”

“…These morbidities significantly impact the child's neurodevelopmental functioning and diminish their quality of life [4]. Most studies investigating the rates of emotional and behavioral problems in children with heart disease have focused on congenital heart diseases, with no consensus among these reports about the profile of psychological morbidity in this population [5][6][7][8][9][10].…”

ObjectivesEarly-onset physical morbidity is likely to affect the emotional balance and behavioral adaptation of children and adolescents. Few published studies have investigated psychological morbidity in children with rheumatic heart diseases (RHD). Our work aims to explore the psychiatric symptoms in addition to total competence and quality of life in a sample of Egyptian children with RHD in comparison with those with no RHD and with healthy controls. Participants and methods Children (age 6-18 years) with RHD (n = 24), those with congenital or other heart diseases (non-RHD) (n = 23), and healthy control children (n = 28) were recruited. The Arabic version of the Child Behavior Checklist was completed by parents. ResultsAfter adjustment for different socioeconomic statuses, all children with heart diseases were found to show more internalizing problems and post-traumatic stress compared with healthy children. Non-RHD children showed more generalized and social anxiety, whereas those with RHD showed higher levels of obsessive-compulsive problems. ConclusionChildren with heart diseases suffer from high internalizing psychological stress. More effort needs to be made for the early identification and management of psychological morbidity in children with RHD, especially for anxiety and obsessive compulsive symptoms.

“…208,228 Physical limitations, including activity restrictions, have also been associated with poorer selfconcept and more behavioral problems. 229 It may be useful and beneficial for restrictions on physical and social activity to be reviewed. Counseling families to avoid overprotection and unnecessary restriction of a child or adolescent with CHD may be an important intervention.…”

Background— The goal of this statement was to review the available literature on surveillance, screening, evaluation, and management strategies and put forward a scientific statement that would comprehensively review the literature and create recommendations to optimize neurodevelopmental outcome in the pediatric congenital heart disease (CHD) population. Methods and Results— A writing group appointed by the American Heart Association and American Academy of Pediatrics reviewed the available literature addressing developmental disorder and disability and developmental delay in the CHD population, with specific attention given to surveillance, screening, evaluation, and management strategies. MEDLINE and Google Scholar database searches from 1966 to 2011 were performed for English-language articles cross-referencing CHD with pertinent search terms. The reference lists of identified articles were also searched. The American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association classification of recommendations and levels of evidence for practice guidelines were used. A management algorithm was devised that stratified children with CHD on the basis of established risk factors. For those deemed to be at high risk for developmental disorder or disabilities or for developmental delay, formal, periodic developmental and medical evaluations are recommended. A CHD algorithm for surveillance, screening, evaluation, reevaluation, and management of developmental disorder or disability has been constructed to serve as a supplement to the 2006 American Academy of Pediatrics statement on developmental surveillance and screening. The proposed algorithm is designed to be carried out within the context of the medical home. This scientific statement is meant for medical providers within the medical home who care for patients with CHD. Conclusions— Children with CHD are at increased risk of developmental disorder or disabilities or developmental delay. Periodic developmental surveillance, screening, evaluation, and reevaluation throughout childhood may enhance identification of significant deficits, allowing for appropriate therapies and education to enhance later academic, behavioral, psychosocial, and adaptive functioning.

“…[3][4][5][6][7] However, other studies have reported lower levels of depression or found no differences between chronically ill and healthy adolescents. 8,9 These contrasting results have raised the question of which factors are related to higher levels of depression and poorer psychosocial adjustment in adolescents with CHD.…”
