Children born with #CHD are at greater risk for emotional and behavioral health concerns. In this Primary Care Perspectives #podcast episode, listen in to hear the many reasons for increased mental health risk among children with heart defects: bit.ly/3Srs0fK.

For cardiology/Paed card fellows. Trying to get ductal view, surprisingly the entire arch, descending aorta seen contrary to a small part of descending aorta seen in usual ductal view. In which condition you see this?

Achd never ceases to amaze. Adult with DILV who has never been palliated. And if you notice the ecg now has complete heart block… #achd

When a single person performs an action outside of the norm it can be a one off or a canary in the coal mine situation.

Returning to the fundamentals is a fun way to trigger imposter syndrome
