This week we’re going to review cardiovascular topics for Peds this week.
The first thing you should do is review our EKG posts. The heart works the same in adults and peds. The big difference is with Peds the heart rate is generally faster than adults. Most of the diseases that Peds have are ones they were born with. The heart still basically works the same.
