Objectives: After studying the article entitled “Prevalence of VSD, PDA, and ASD in Saudi Arabia by Echocardiography: A Prospective Study,” you will be able to:
To determine if ventricular septum defect (VSD), patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), and atrial septum defect (ASD) are associated with sex or age
Identify which subtypes of ASD and VSD are common in pediatric patients
Recognize which of the three congenital heart diseases (CHDs) occurs at the highest frequency
In this study, which type of CHD had a slight increase in frequency in the male participants? Atrial septum defect Atrioventricular canal Ventricular septum defect Patent ductus arteriosus
Based on the results from the study, which of the following CHD types were more prevalent among females than males? PDA and VSD ASD and VSD VSD and PDA ASD and PDA
According to a study by Kamal et al., what was the most common type of noncyanotic CHD? ASD (34.1%) ASD (41.9%) ASD (25%) ASD (28.8%)
Based on the results of this study, what was the most common noncyanotic cardiac defect? PDA (47.41%) ASD (41.91%) PDA (47.47%) VSD (41.47%)
Which of the following CHD types is more prevalent in patients with a heart murmur? Ventricular septum defect Atrial septum defect Aortic stenosis Patent ductus arteriosus
According to the results from this study, which of the following CHD types were more frequent in the one- to five-year-old age group? Membranous VSD and PDA PDA and ostium secundum ASD Membranous VSD and ostium secundum ASD Ostium primum ASD and membranous VSD
An abnormal heart murmur can be associated with CHD or heart valve disease. In this study population, a heart murmur was more common in which of the following age groups? <5 years old 5 and 11 years old >11 years old 5 to 11 years old
