For assessment of operability in PAH patients with congenital heart disease following are the correct criteria
PVRI <4, PVR <2.3 Correctability – Yes
PVRI 4-8, PVR 2.3-4.6, Correctability – Individual Patient evaluation
PVRI >8, PVR>4.6, Correctability – No
PPHN is the most common cause of transient PAH (40.1 cases per million children per year) and may be increasing in frequency
True
False
The proportion of newborns with PPHN is inversely related to gestational age
True
False
According to the paediatric PH diagnostic algorithm if echo and chest radiograph is compatible with PH then consider most common causes of PH in children (i.e. CHD, chronic lung disease)
True
False
According to the paediatric PH diagnostic algorithm if PH due to lung disease confirmed then look for PH severity and RV dysfunction
True
False
According to the paediatric PH diagnostic algorithm if PH due to lung disease confirmed then V/Q scan to confirm CTEPH
True
False
Acute vasoreactivity testing will done only in the case of idiopathic PH and familial PH
True
False
For the mortality risk assessment following should be determine (choose all correct options)
Clinical evidence of RV Failure
Progression of symptoms
6MWT
WHO FC
Serum BNP/NT-proBNP
Echocardiography
Haemodynamics
According to Paediatric idiopathic/familial PAH treatment algorithm if patient have (Choose the correct option)
Low risk then consider ERA or PDE5i (oral) Oral/inhaled prostacyclin/prostacyclin agonist or Consider combination therapy (sequential or upfront)
High risk then consider ERA or PDE5i (oral) Oral/inhaled prostacyclin/prostacyclin agonist or Consider combination therapy (sequential or upfront)
High risk then consider Epoprostenol or treprostinil (i.v./s.c.) Consider early combination
Low risk then consider Epoprostenol or treprostinil (i.v./s.c.) Consider early combination
Atrial septostomy is a procedure where a small hole is made in the wall between the left and right ventricle of the heart
True
False
The Potts shunt is a novel alternative technique for decompressing the right ventricle without significant upper body cyanosis. It is a surgical technique in which a side-to-side anastomosis is created from the left pulmonary artery to the descending aorta, resulting in a right-to-left shunt
True
False
