Annotation. This study investigated the characteristics of heart cusps in children with
congenital hydrocephalus. The aim of the study was to identify the specific features of cardiac
activity and blood circulation in these patients, to diagnose them in time and to determine an
effective treatment strategy. The study analyzed the neurological and cardiological changes
caused by hydrocephalus, and also provided practical recommendations for diagnosis and
treatment.
Keywords: Hydrocephalus, Heart cusps, Congenital condition, Pathophysiology, Clinical
course, Diagnostics.

Introduction
Hydrocephalus is a chronic neurological condition resulting from an increase in the amount
of fluid in the brain, which can be congenital or acquired. In children born with congenital
hydrocephalus, not only the functions of the central nervous system are impaired, but other
systems, including the cardiovascular system, are also significantly affected. The heart valves are
complex mechanisms that control the development and functioning of the heart. Neurological and
physiological changes associated with hydrocephalus may be associated with heart valve
dysfunction, circulatory failure, changes in muscle tone, and irregular heart rhythm.
An integrated approach is necessary to identify the specific features of heart valve
dysfunction in such patients, as well as to correctly determine the clinical course of the disease and
treatment methods. Therefore, studying the pathophysiological, clinical, and diagnostic aspects of
heart valve dysfunction in children with congenital hydrocephalus is of great importance in
medical practice and improving child health.
Main part
Heart failure in children born with hydrocephalus is a complex clinical phenomenon that
occurs as a result of the interaction of the central nervous system and the cardiovascular system.
Congenital hydrocephalus is characterized primarily by an increase in the amount of fluid
in the brain, which leads to increased intracranial pressure, deformation of brain tissue, and

impaired transmission of nerve impulses. As a result, not only neurological symptoms are
observed, but also changes in the rhythm and contractile function of the heart.
The main causes of heart failure in children include impaired muscle tone, dysfunction of
the vagus nerve, slowing of blood circulation, and aspiration phenomena associated with bronchial
secretion. These factors lead to irregular heart rhythm, changes in arterial pressure, and in some
cases, signs of heart failure. At the same time, hydrocephalus makes it difficult for children to
provide the lungs with sufficient oxygen, which places an additional burden on the heart.
Clinically, such children are characterized by rapid fatigue, difficulty breathing, slowing or
accelerating heart rate, as well as changes in peripheral blood vessels. Therefore, they require
regular cardiological and neurological monitoring. Treatment and rehabilitation approaches are
multidisciplinary and include neurologists, cardiologists, physiotherapists and pediatricians.
Support for heart and lung function with physiotherapy, bronchial drainage, nutrition
optimization and medications is important. Also, advanced diagnostic methods - ultrasound,
echocardiography and monitoring - are used to determine the course of heart failure and
pathological changes.
Therefore, a deep study of the specific features of the course of heart failure in children
with congenital hydrocephalus, a preliminary assessment of the course of the disease and the
development of an effective treatment strategy are of great importance for medical practice.
Conclusion
The course of heart failure in children born with hydrocephalus is a complex and
multifactorial process, resulting from the interaction of the central nervous system and the
cardiovascular system. In these children, increased intracranial pressure, impaired muscle tone,
vagus nerve dysfunction, and aspiration phenomena negatively affect heart rhythm and blood
circulation. Clinical observations show that such children experience rapid fatigue, shortness of
breath, changes in heart rhythm, and peripheral vascular dysfunction. Therefore, they need regular
neurological and cardiological monitoring. Treatment approaches are multidisciplinary and
include neurologists, cardiologists, physiotherapists, and pediatricians. Heart and lung function
can be supported by medications, physiotherapy, bronchial drainage, and nutrition optimization.
Advanced diagnostic methods ultrasound, echocardiography, and monitoring - allow the
course of heart failure and pathological changes to be detected
