About this listen
Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D.
Guest: Rebecca Ameduri, M.D.
Most primary care clinicians see very few children with advanced heart failure or complicated congenital heart disease. However, when they are a part of our practice, they require timely referral and coordination with other medical specialties, as well as ongoing longitudinal and supportive care not only for the patient but also for their family. A heart transplant is a lifesaving and life-changing procedure for these patients. As the survival of these children improves, more transplant recipients are living into adulthood. For primary care clinicians, what are some early “red flag” symptoms that should raise our suspicion for cardiac failure? What tests should we order and when is the best time for a child to be referred for consideration for a heart transplant? The topic for this podcast is “Pediatric Heart Transplant” and we’ll tackle these issues and more. My guest is Dr. Rebecca Ameduri, a pediatric cardiologist with special expertise in pediatric heart transplantation.
