Myocardial Failure
This is a 2 1/2 month old male who presented to the ED with a 2 week history of intermittent low grade fevers. He was seen by his primary physician 2 weeks prior to this ED visit for chapped/bleeding lips and mucocutaneous lesions. There was no significant rash or fever and it was thought that he may have developed a reaction to amoxicillin-clavulanate. Five days prior to the ED visit, he received his first DPT shot and developed fever and fussiness which subsequently resolved.

Pulmonary Hypertension in Children:Pediatric Cardiology in Children
Pulmonary Hypertension in Children:
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is an angioproliferative pulmonary vasculopathy, characterized by loss of normal endothelial function, abnormal response of vascular smooth muscle cell to stimuli, and from the activation of multiple molecular pathways. Normal pulmonary artery (PA) pressure in children is 20/12 mm Hg with a mean of 15 mmHg at sea level. PH is defined as a mean PA pressure of 25 mm Hg at rest measured by right-heart catheterization with a normal pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PWCP) of =15 mm Hg and pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) index of > 3 Woods units x sq.m.(1) The pediatric cardiologist plays a critical role in the diagnosis and management of the child with PH.
