These Genes Fit
Valvular pulmonary stenosis. Seen most commonly in this syndrome
What is Noonan syndrome
This mnemonic outlines the major criteria used to diagnose acute rheumatic fever.
What is the JONES criteria?
J – Joints (migratory polyarthritis)
O – ❤️ (Heart: carditis, including endo-, myo-, or pericarditis)
N – Nodules (subcutaneous)
E – Erythema marginatum
S – Sydenham’s chorea
Left lower sternal border murmur. Vibratory, louder when supine.
What is Still's murmur
Pre-excited depolarization of QRS complex (delta waves). Seen in this syndrome
What is Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome
The most common cause of myocarditis in children.
What is viral infection?
(Enterovirus, Parvovirus, Adenovirus etc.)
Cardiac rhabdomyomas. Seen most commonly in this syndrome
What is Tuberous Sclerosis
This vasculitis should top your differential in a febrile infant with conjunctival injection, red lips, rash, and swelling of hands and feet after six days of persistent high fever.
What is Kawasaki Disease
Left upper sternal border. Loudest in axillae. Systolic and seen in infants.
What is Peripheral Pulmonic Stenosis (PPS)
4 day old with cyanosis, cool extremities, lethargy. What's on your differential (any 3 for credit)
What is left heart obstructive lesions: aortic stenosis, coarcation of aorta, hypoplastic left heart syndrome
Supravalvular aortic stenosis. Seen most commonly in this syndrome
What is Williams syndrome
This heart valve is the most commonly affected by ARF
What is mitral valve
Right upper sternal border. Continuous, disappears with jugular vein compression or when head turned or upon being supine.
What is venous hum
During a "tet spell," this is the immediate therapy (Name 3/4 get credit)
What is knee-to-chest position, sodium bicarbonate, morphine, and oxygen. Surgery is not an immediate treatment!
Dissection of the ascending aorta. Seen most commonly in this syndrome
What is Marfan syndrome
The most common arrhythmia leading to fetal bradycardia
What is complete heart block (SS-A/Ro or SS-B/la)
Which meds are associated with drug induced long QT syndrome?
What is amitriptyline, azithromycin/erythromycin, cisapride (removed from market)
Endocardial cushion defect. Seen most commonly in this syndrome
What is Down syndrome
This cardiac complication, often subclinical, is associated with the systemic subtype of juvenile idiopathic arthritis and can present with muffled heart sounds, pulsus paradoxus, or even tamponade physiology.
What is pericarditis?
Progressive prolongation of the PR interval on the ECG on consecutive beats followed by a blocked P wave (i.e., a "dropped" QRS complex). After the dropped QRS complex, the PR interval resets and the cycle repeats
What is second degree AV block, Mobitz type I (Wenckebach)
