fallot
congenital syndrone characterized by cyanosis after neonatal period
cor pulmonale
enlargement of the right ventricle secondary to pulmonary malfunction
cardia tamponade
excessive accumulation of effused fluid or blood between the pericardium and myocardium
kawasaki disease
inflammation in the walls of small and medium sized arteries throughout the body, including the coronary arteries
rheumatic fever
systemic connective tissue disease caused by strep throat or skin infection
senile cardiac amyloidosis
a condition caused by deposits of amyloid, fibrillary protein produced by chronic inflammation or neoplastic disease

occurs in children 3-7 years old
Thrill
a fine palpable, rushing vibration and indicates a disruption of blood flow related to a defect of closure in the semilunar valve
dextrocardia
the heart is positioned to the right or rotated
pleural or pericardial fluid will cause the heart to sound
very faint and unable to palpate apical pulse
bacterial endocarditis
fever and clinical symptoms of CHF
sign of pulmonary hypertension
decreased intensity of S1 heart sound and increased intensity of S2
which age group will experience liver enlargement before pulmonary edema during heart failure?

S2
is higher pitch and shorter duration than S1
splitting of the heart sounds is best heard during?
inspiration
young child with a atrial septal defect
systolic ejection murmur that is loud and harsh over the second intercostal space along the left sternal border
best position to hear low pitched filling sounds of the heart
left side use the bell
The heart rates of children increase with
each degree of temperature elevation

harder
