Undiagnosed Congenital Heart Disease in Primary Care (S6 Ep. 47)
Tuesday Jul 12, 2022
Tuesday Jul 12, 2022
When accelerated BSN student Sam Mahaney wanted more practical bedside application of his knowledge of pediatric cardiology, we sat down to discuss the approach to assessment and management of undiagnosed and undifferentiated congenital heart disease from a primary care perspective. The primary care clinician should be on the lookout for red flags in the history and physical exam that might suggest critical congenital heart disease and screen appropriately. This episode has helpful perspectives for both the nurse and advanced practice provider.
