Join us for an insightful session on AP Paediatric Cardiology Revision Series Part 2, specifically curated for medical school finals. This session will cover comprehensive information about paediatric cardiology, offering a deeper understanding of Acyanotic defects and Acquired Heart Disease. A can't-miss opportunity for those aiming to specialize or gain better knowledge in Paediatric Cardiology! Deep dive into topics like atrial septal defect, ventricular septal defect, and Kawasaki's and Rheumatic heart diseases. Don't miss out!
By the end of this session, learners will be able to identify, describe, and differentiate between the four major types of Acyanotic defects in children: atrial septal defect, ventricular septal defect, patent ductus arteriosus, and coarctation of the aorta.
Participants will establish an understanding of the pathophysiology of Kawasaki disease in paediatric patients by explaining its causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment strategies.
Learners will gain an appreciation for the correlation between streptococcal infections and Rheumatic heart disease, and implement this knowledge in the prevention, early detection, and management of such cases.
The session will equip participants with the ability to interpret common signs and symptoms of congenital heart defects (Part 2) and acquired heart disease, to enhance early detection and promote better health outcomes in paediatric patients.
By the close of the teaching session, the learners should be able to form a basic therapeutic approach for managing congenital heart diseases in paediatric patients and explore potential complications associated with surgery and other interventions.
