16
Q

Tet spells - period of episodes of cyanosis relieved with squatting or putting an infant’s knees to its chest

A

Tetralogy of Fallot

17
Q

4 components of tetralogy of fallot

A
  1. RV outflow obstruction - pulmonary artery stenosis
  2. RV hypertrophy
  3. VSD
  4. Overriding aorta
18
Q

Harsh holosystolic murmur at left upper sternal border, right ventricular heave

A

Tetralogy of fallot

19
Q

Diagnosis of tetralogy of fallot

A
  1. CXR: boot shaped heart
  2. ECG: right ventricular hypertrophy
  3. Echo - gold standard
20
Q

Management of tetralogy of fallot

A

Surgical repair performed in first 4-12 months of life

21
Q

Most common type of congenital heart disease

A

Ventricular septal defect

22
Q

Most common type of ventricular septal defect

A

Perimembranous

23
Q

Loud high-pitched harsh, holosystolic murmur at the lower left sternal border

A

Ventricular septal defect

24
Q

Diagnosis of ventricular septal defect

A
  1. CXR: RV hypertrophy
  2. Echo: preferred over cath
  3. ECG: OVH, RAE/LAE
  4. MRI: only if echo nondiagnostic
  5. Cardiac cath - if other tests fail
25
Q

Management of ventricular septal defect

A

Most will close spontaneously within 10 years
Restrictive VSD (left > right pressure) associated with good prognosis
Surgery - patch closure

26
Q

Acute autoimmune inflammatory multi-systemic illness mainly affecting children 5-15 y/o

A

Acute rheumatic fever

27
Q

Complications of rheumatic fever

A

Cardiac

Rheumatic valvular disease - mitral MC, then aortic

28
Q

Diagnosis of rheumatic fever

A

Jones criteria

29
Q

Signs/symptoms of rheumatic fever

A
  1. Polyarthritis
  2. Active carditis
  3. Erythema marginatum (rash)
30
Q

Management of rheumatic fever

A
  1. Aspirin
  2. Penicillin G
    +/- corticosteroids if severe and with carditis
31
Q

Warm + CREAM

Kawasaki Disease

A

Fever + 4 of the following:
Conjunctivitis
