- Abstract
Pediatric cardiologists teach complicated concepts to a diverse group of learners that include medical students, nurses, residents, fellows, patients, and parents. Unfortunately, much of what is taught is not retained. In order to increase the likelihood of long-term retention, a cardiologist should teach with both meaning and sense. The authors provide a review of these concepts and give specific examples of how to teach in ways that both make sense and are meaningful to a cardiologist's leaners., (© 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.)

In the setting of physician shortages, nurse practitioner (NP) roles have evolved, with increasing independence across most healthcare settings. We sought to characterize referring clinician perceptions of NP-performed outpatient pediatric cardiology consultations. We electronically distributed to pediatric and family medicine physicians and NPs in Arkansas our 11-item survey assessing the acceptability of pediatric cardiology consultations being completed by an NP under varying circumstances. Circumstances included seven common referral indications, and the scale offered five answer choices ranging from "definitely unacceptable" to "definitely acceptable". A total of 292 of 1756 (16.6% response rate) referring clinicians responded to the survey. Overall, 57% of responses indicated that NP-completed pediatric cardiology evaluations were either definitely or probably unacceptable. Acceptability was varied by referral indication and referring clinician characteristics. Unacceptability of NP-completed pediatric cardiology evaluations was greatest among family medicine physicians (81%), pediatricians (66%), and clinicians working in solo or two-physician practices (77%) or community hospitals/clinics (71%). If NP evaluation of a murmur included required review with a cardiologist, the unacceptability rate dropped from 50 to 24% (p < 0.0001). Unacceptability was higher in physicians who do not work with NPs (69%) compared to those who do (60%) (pp < 0.0001). Many referring physicians were willing to send patients ≥ 100 miles to ensure evaluation by a pediatric cardiologist. Most referring physicians find pediatric cardiology evaluations performed by NPs to be unacceptable. Requisite review with a cardiologist improved acceptability of NP evaluations. Many referring physicians would send patients much farther to guarantee evaluation by a cardiologist. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Pulmonary artery (PA) stenosis is the most common late sequela following arterial switch for d-transposition of the great arteries. The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of transthoracic echocardiography in evaluating the pulmonary arteries following repair. This was a retrospective, cross-sectional analysis of all echocardiograms performed on patients following arterial switch operation. A numerical scoring system was devised and used to quantify PA visualization based on 2D images, color mapping, and spectral Doppler. The study cohort included 150 patients. The ability to visualize at least one PA was poorer in patients who were older [> 10 years (47%) vs ≤ 10 years (89%) (p < 0.001)], and who had larger body surface area (BSA) (> 1.25 m
2 (40%) vs ≤ 1.25 m2 (90%) (p < 0.001)]. Regardless of age, 2D visualization of the pulmonary arteries was poor for the entire cohort. Of those with at least one non-visualized PA, only 54% had alternative imaging performed or ordered within the 5 years at or prior to their last echocardiogram. In conclusion, PA visualization following arterial switch is worse in patients who are older and in those with larger BSA. In such patients, alternative forms of imaging are more likely to be necessary. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

Little is known about the causes and risks of non-postoperative pericardial effusion (PCE) in pediatric patients. We sought to assess the diagnoses most frequently associated with admissions for PCE, and to determine if certain conditions were associated with higher in-hospital mortality and rates of readmission. Nationally distributed data from 44 pediatric hospitals in the 2004–2015 Pediatric Health Information System database were used to identify patients with hospital admissions for International Classification of Disease, Ninth Revision (ICD-9) codes for PCE and/or cardiac tamponade. Children with congenital heart disease were excluded. ICD-9 codes for conditions associated with PCE were grouped into eight categories: neoplastic, renal, autoimmune/inflammatory, pneumonia, viral, bacterial, hypothyroidism, and idiopathic. Multivariable models were used to evaluate odds of in-hospital mortality and readmission within 30 and 90 days. There were 9902 patients who met inclusion criteria. Total in-hospital mortality was 8.2% (
n = 813); of those without a neoplastic diagnosis, mortality was 6.5% (n = 493/7543). Idiopathic PCE accounted for the most admissions (36%), followed by neoplasms (24%), pneumonia (20%), and autoimmune/inflammatory disease (19%). In multivariable models, odds of death were highest for neoplasms (adjusted odds ratio 3.83,p < 0.001) and renal disease (adjusted odds ratio 2.86,p < 0.001). Children with a neoplasm, renal disease, and those undergoing pericardiocentesis had the highest rates of readmission at 30 and 90 days. Children admitted with non-postoperative PCE have multiple associated conditions. Neoplasm and renal disease in the setting of PCE are associated with the highest odds of in-hospital mortality among concomitant conditions; children with a neoplasm, renal disease, and those undergoing pericardiocentesis have the highest odds of readmission.

- Abstract
Objective: To test the hypothesis that increased venous compliance manifested as inferior vena cava (IVC) dilation is an important substrate for syncope in children.Study Design: IVC diameters were measured in 191 children and adolescents with syncope and in 95 controls. Subjects were divided based on age <12 years (younger group) and ≥12 years (older group). IVC measurements at the right atrial junction (IVC-RA), 10 mm below the IVC-RA junction (IVC-RA10), and at the point of maximal diameter (IVCmax) were made. The linear relation to body surface area (BSA) was confirmed, as were dimensions indexed to BSA (iIVC). Relationships between iIVC and the time of day were evaluated.Results: In the syncope group, the mean age was 12.9 ± 3.6 years, mean weight was 54.7 ± 23 kg, and mean BSA was 1.5 ± 0.4 m2. Among controls, all IVC dimensions varied linearly with BSA (P < .001). In the older group (140 patients with syncope and 60 controls), all iIVC dimensions were larger in the syncope cohort: iIVC-RA, 9 vs 7.7 mm/m2 (P < .0001); iIVC-RA10, 9.4 vs 8.1 mm/m2 (P < .0001); iIVCmax, 11.7 vs 10.6 mm/m2 (P = .002). In the younger group (51 patients with syncope and 35 controls), there were no differences in iIVC measurements between the syncope cohort and controls: iIVC-RA, 10.2 vs 11.3 mm/m2; iIVC-RA10, 11.7 vs 12.0 mm/m2; iIVCmax, 14.2 vs 14.7 mm/m2 (P > .05 for all).Conclusions: The IVC is enlarged in teenagers with syncope compared with controls, suggesting that venous capacitance and resultant pooling play roles in the pathogenesis of syncope. In contrast, younger children with syncope do not demonstrate IVC dilation, suggesting that their syncope arises from a different mechanism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published
