Introduction
This is a one-day course focusing on cardiac problems frequently encountered by clinicians involved in the care of children.
Congenital heart disease is one of the most common types of birth defect, affecting up to 8 in every 1,000 babies born in the UK. This one-day course will help you to recognise and manage some of the common cardiac problems experienced by children. The course focuses on clinical scenarios such as assessing a sick baby for possible underlying cardiac problems, syncope in childhood and managing children with palpitations. Our expert faculty also explore key questions around the screening of children for cardiac problems. Using lectures and workshops, the course will provide you with an understanding of paediatric ECGs, echocardiography, and heart murmurs.
