Most common complication of rheumatic fever
Mitral stenosis
Major criteria for rheumatic fever
Pancarditis Polyarthritis Erythema marginatum Sydenham's chorea Subcutaneous nodules
Minor criteria for rheumatic fever
Fever Polyarthralgia History of rheumatic fever Raised acute phase reactants (ESR and CRP) Prolonged PR interval
Cardiac associations with William’s syndrome
Pulmonary stenosis
Peripheral pulmonary stenosis
Supravalvular aortic stenosis
Correction for hypo plastic left heart
Norwood (staged procedure - 3 in total)
Correction for tetralogy of fallot
Blalock-Taussig shunt, then complete repair later
Presents with prolonged fever, malaise, anorexia + heart murmur, often with underlying congenital heart disease
Infective endocarditis
Management of patent ductus arteriosus causing heart failure
Fluid restriction
Optimise oxygenation
Indomethacin
Conditions associated with pulmonary stenosis

Williams’s
Noonan’s
Conditions associated with HOCM
Pompe’s disease
Friedreich’s ataxia
Cardiac defects associated with Turner’s
Aortic stenosis
Coarctation
Aortic dissection
Cardiac defects associated with Marfan’s
Aortic dissection
Aortic incompetence
Murmur in VSD
Pansystolic, at lower left sternal border
Commonest cause of cyanotic congenital heart disease
Tetralogy of fallot
Murmur in ASD
Soft systolic murmur, best heart at upper left sternal edge with fixed split S2
ECG abnormality in secundum ASD
