UWorld Peds Flashcards
tetralogy of fallot murmur–describe, rxn to squatting
harsh, systolic crescendo-decrescendo ejection murmur, single S2; squatting increases intensity of murmur but improves cyanosis
hypertrophic cardiomyopathy murmur–describe, rxn to squatting
systolic murmur best heard at apex and left lower sternal border; squatting decreases intensity of murmur
isolated ASD murmur–describe
systolic ejection murmur, wide-splitting of S2
VSD murmur–describe, rxn to squatting
holosystolic murmur at left sternal border; squatting increases intensity of murmur
Kawasaki disease symptoms (6)
fever, bilateral nonexudative conjunctivitis, mucositis (injected/fissured lips, injected pharynx, strawberry tongue), cervical lymphadenopathy, rash, edema and erythema of palms and soles
Kawasaki disease tx
aspirin + IVIG to prevent cardiac complications
Kawasaki disease complications (2)
coronary artery aneurysms, myocardial infarction and ischemia
what is reye syndrome?
hepatic encephalopathy that can develop in children using aspirin during influenza or varicella infections
rash w/”sandpaper” texture that spares palms and soles–dx and tx
scarlet fever (complication of untreated strep pharyngitis); amoxicillin
what study should be done for suspected Kawasaki disease to allow for monitoring throughout disease?
echo
rocky mountain spotted fever sx and tx
rash, fever, headache, GI sx after tick bite; doxycycline
endocardial cushion defect (i.e., atrioventricular septal defect) is associated w/ what condition?
down syndrome
midsystolic click w/late systolic murmur
mitral valve prolapse
systolic ejection murmur, wide-splitting of S2
ASD
cardiac abnormalities associated w/williams syndrome (deletions in chromosome 7)
supravalvular aortic stenosis, pulmonary stenosis, septal defects
list 3 congenital heart defects associated w/down syndrome in decreasing order of prevalence
complete AV septal defect, VSD, ASD
GI complications associated with down syndrome
duodenal atresia, hirschprung disease
endocrine complications associated with down syndrome
hypothyroidism, T1DM
sx of infant heart failure
diaphoresis, dyspnea w/feeds, poor appetite, lethargy, hyperactive precordium
complete atrioventricular septal defect tx before surgery
pharmacotherapy (diuretics, inotropic agents), nutritional supplementation to optimize cardiac fxn
what congenital infection is associated w/PDA?
rubella
what congenital heart defects are associated w/digeorge syndrome?
conotruncal abnormalities (truncus arteriosus, ToF, interrupted aortic arch)
define cyanotic vs pallid breath-holding spells
cyanotic: crying followed by breath-holding in forced expiration, limpness, LOC, rapid return to baseline
pallid: minor trauma followed by breath-holding, pallor, diaphoresis, lasts
work-up after dx of breath-holding spells in healthy infant
CBC, serum ferritin (IDA is often associated)
handgrip decreases intensity of what 3 murmurs?
HCM, aortic stenosis, mitral regurg
postpericardiotomy syndrome–sx in infants vs older children
infants: vomiting, decreased appetite
older children: pericardial friction rub, pleuritic CP exacerbated by inspiration or lying supine
complication of postpercardiotomy syndrome
tamponade
beck’s triad of tamponade
distant heart sounds, JVD (or distention of scalp veins in infants), hypotension
blunting of costophrenic angles on CXR
pleural effusions
