The goals for pediatric residents rotating on the pediatric cardiology inpatient service are the following:

• To develop competency in managing patients with:
  
  
  • congestive heart failure
  • cyanotic heart disease
  • Kawasaki's disease
  • cardiac arrrhythmias
    
    
• The resident should be able to recognize from the ECG the rhythm and signs of hypertrophy.
  
  
• The resident should be able to interpret a chest x-ray and recognize cardiomegaly, increased or decreased pulmonary vascular markings and aortic arch location.
  
  
• The house officer should be able to interpret the hemodynamic findings on a cardiac catheterization report.
