Beschreibung
Heart Disease in Adolescents Handbook equips sports medicine physicians, pediatric clinicians, cardiology trainees, and adolescent-care teams to evaluate congenital, acquired, rhythm, pulmonary vascular, heart-failure, and preventive cardiac risk in teenagers. It builds from cardiac development, adolescent anatomy, hemodynamics, ECG interpretation, imaging, and exercise physiology into the clearance decisions that determine whether a patient can play, pause, return, or needs urgent referral. The book centers on the clinical moment when chest pain, syncope, palpitations, dyspnea, murmur, hypertension, repaired congenital anatomy, or an abnormal ECG must be translated into safe participation advice. The Adolescent Cardiac Clearance Matrix turns that reasoning into a repeatable workflow for clinic, school, and team settings. - Interpret adolescent cardiac development and physiology. - connect congenital structure, chamber loading, rhythm substrate, and exercise demand to real clearance decisions. - Evaluate septal defects, tetralogy of Fallot, transposition repairs, Fontan physiology, coarctation, and valve disease. - identify residual risks after childhood repair. - Separate benign athlete findings from abnormal ECG patterns. - recognize WPW, SVT, long QT, CPVT, ventricular ectopy, and bradyarrhythmia signals that require escalation. - Triage syncope, chest pain, dyspnea, palpitations, murmurs, and hypertension. - decide when reassurance is reasonable and when temporary restriction protects the athlete. - Use echo, MRI, CT, Holter monitoring, exercise testing, CPET, and catheterization. - choose the test that answers the clinical question instead of testing reflexively. - Manage pulmonary hypertension, heart failure, myocarditis, cardiomyopathy, Kawasaki sequelae, and rheumatic disease. - align activity advice with current physiology. - Counsel special populations through genetics, pregnancy risk, transition, school communication, and adult congenital referral. - keep the plan durable beyond one visit. Use it to make adolescent cardiac clearance safer, clearer, and harder to misread.
