Study Notes
Cardiac Issues in Children
- Tachypnea (rapid breathing rate) is a common manifestation seen in children with cardiac issues.
Heart Size in Children
- The heart size in children is approximately 1% of their body surface area.
Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA)
- PDA is a congenital heart defect where the ductus arteriosus, a blood vessel connecting the aorta and pulmonary arteries, fails to close after birth.
- In PDA, the pressure in the aorta decreases, while the pressure in the pulmonary arteries increases.
- PDA accounts for approximately 10% of all infants with congenital heart disease.
