    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.
