Yes a child can have heart disease if it is genitically predisposed. It may show up as a breathing problem but that would be a very late sign and it would be breathing that does not have a dramatic improvement with breathing inhailers. It would also be highly unlikely I have only seen one case and it was a 16 year old who had very bad chest pain that was ignored to be growing pain and then was admitted to the hospital for pneumonia and had an EKG done that showed a big heart attack. Asthma usally improves with medicine. And if someone had heart disease that lead to pulmonary disease it would have to be very severe and probably wouldn't improve.

Depends on what age the child is; but no matter what age the person is, xoponex will not affect the heart disese if used correctly. If inhaled correctly, the effects of xoponex (or any asthma treatment) should only be seen in the lungs.
