TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present guidelines for the recognition, diagnosis, and early medical management of pediatric heart failure in infancy, childhood, and adolescence, which are intended to assist practitioners in office-based or emergency room practice, who encounter children with undiagnosed heart disease and symptoms of possible HF.

TL;DR: These guidelines are intended to assist practitioners in office-based or emergency room practice, who encounter children with undiagnosed heart disease and symptoms of possible HF, rather than those who have already received surgical palliation.
