Acquired heart diseases are conditions that develop over time rather than due to a birth defect or genetic anomaly inherited from a person’s parents. Some of the more commonly acquired heart diseases in children include congestive heart failure, Kawasaki disease, myocarditis, congestive cardiomyopathy, rheumatic heart disease and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. These diseases impact the heart and associated blood vessels, and may appear as a heart defect after a disease has struck. Our physicians have specialized training and broad experience diagnosing, monitoring and treating a wide variety of acquired heart diseases in infants, adolescents and adults.
