I’m Mike Bloomberg and I approve this message.
this message. >>LAUREN VERNO: SO THIS MORNING
WE WANT TO WARN PARENTS ABOUT THE SIGNS OF HEART PROBLEMS
IN CHILDREN. LAST FRIDAY, WE
ALL WORE RED HERE IN THE
MORNING SHOW TO RAISE AWARENESS
ABOUT HEART DISEASE IN WOMEN
AND ADULTS BE NO CHILDREN CAN
ALSO HAVE HEART PROBLEMS
USUALLY CAUSED BY A GENETIC
DISORDER THAT MOST PARENTS, NO
IDEAS EVEN PRESENT IN THEIR
CHILD AND THERE ARE SPECIFIC
RED FLAGS THAT YOU DO NOT WANT
TO IGNORE DOCTOR SUNITA FERNS IS THE DIRECTOR OF THE PEDIATRIC ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY
PROGRAM WILSON CHILDREN’S
HOSPITAL, GOOD MORNING, THANK
YOU FOR BEING HERE, THANK YOU
FOR HAVING ME WILL YOU EXPLAIN
TO PEOPLE THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN LET’S SAY CARDIOLOGIST
ELECTRO PHYSIOLOGY BECAUSE
YOU’RE REALLY LOOKING AT HOW
THE HEARTBEAT AND AT WHAT RATE
CORRECT AND THAT’S WHAT WE’RE
TALKING ABOUT HERE THAT’S RIGHT
TO THE HEART TO REALLY COMPLEX
PUMP AND WHAT MAKES THE PUMP
RUN IS ELECTRICITY AND SO AS A
LAKE UP UNTIL THAT IS THEY
REALLY THE ELECTRICIANS OF THE
HOT.
>> AND WE MAKE SURE THAT THE
ELECTRICAL WIRING STILL INTACT.
AND SO I TELL PEOPLE IS JUST A
COUPLE OF THINGS WE DO WE MAKE
SURE THAT’S NOT GOING TOO FAST
AND IF IT’S GOING TOO FAST BE
SLOWED DOWN AND IT’S GOING TO
STILL BE SPEEDED UP AND WE HAVE
DIFFERENT WAYS TO DO THAT AND
THE SIGNIFICANCE CERTAINLY OF
THAT IS THAT OFTEN TIMES THE
PROBLEM WITH THE CHILD’S HEART
IS ASSOCIATED WITH
THAT PORTION EXACTLY AND THOSE
CAN GO UNDETECTED
IF YOU DO YOUR NORMAL IMAGING
THIS OFF THAT OFTEN EASY TO
MISS AN ECHOCARDIOGRAM COULD
THEY’LL
BE NORMAL AND SOME OF THESE
ELECTRICAL HAD THE MALADIES A
VERY SUBTLE. AWESOME OF PICKED
UP ON
EKG BUT THEY CAN BE SOME OF
THEM CAN BE CATASTROPHIC IN
THEIR PRESENTATION AND I THINK
THAT THAT IS WHAT IS SO JARRING
CERTAINLY FOR PARENTS IS E E
ONE MINUTE YOU CAN LOOK AT YOUR
6 OR 7 YEAR-OLD CHILD RUNNING
AROUND AS AN EXAMPLE, PERFECTLY
HEALTHY AND
THE NEXT.
>> YOU KNOW SOMETHING TERRIBLE
COULD HAPPEN THEM BECAUSE YOU
JUST DON’T REALIZE THAT THERE’S
SOMETHING ELECTRICALLY WRONG
WITH
THEIR HEART. WHAT ARE THE
CONSEQUENCES OF OF THESE GOING
UNTREATED, AND YOU KNOW PARENTS
JUST NOT KNOWING ABOUT THEM.
>> THAT’S A GREAT QUESTION.
IS AT TIMES THESE CAN
BE CATASTROPHIC. I THINK ALL OF
US HAVE A SITUATION MAY BE A
BEEN WATCHING TV AND THIS.
THEY ARE WHO WAS JUST THERE TO
BE VERY ATHLETIC FOLKS DOWN IN
THE MIDDLE
OF A AN EVENT AND PEOPLE GO
OVER AND SHOT HIM AND YOU KNOW
IF THEY IF THEY SURVIVE
THAT’S GREAT. SO SOME OF THESE
CAN LEAD TO A CARDIAC ARREST
AND IN SOME CASES TO COMEY NOT
RESUSCITATE BULL.
YEAH WE WE HAVE SEEN THAT
HAPPEN HERE LOCALLY
AS WELL THAT SAID WHAT ARE THE
WARNING SIGNS THEN THAT PARENTS
NEED TO TELL THEIR KIDS ABOUT.
FLUTTERING IN YOUR HOT OF FEELING LIKE YOUR HEART IS RACING OUT OF PROPORTION TO THE
ACTIVITY OF DOING
CERTAINLY ANY PASSING OUT IN
THE MIDDLE OF EXERCISES IS A
BIG WARNING DANGER SIGN AND
NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED
IMMEDIATELY AND SO WHILE YOU
CAN HAVE THAT CONVERSATION WITH
YOUR TEENAGER. IT IS MORE DIFFICULT THE MAY BE TO HAVE IT WITH A CHILD WHO IS ONE NON
COMMUNICATIVE OR 2 IS YOU KNOW
IS NOT OLD ENOUGH TO SAY HEY IT
FEELS LIKE MY HEARTS FLUTTERING
THEY DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT THAT
IT
THAT IS.
>> IS THERE SOMETHING THAT
PARENTS CAN DO IN SITUATIONS
LIKE THAT IS THERE ANY WAY
OF KNOWING. WELL I THINK
PARENTS ARE REALLY THE JUDGES
OF WHAT’S GOING ON WITH THAT
YOU’RE IN IF YOU ARE WORRIED
ABOUT SOMETHING SPEAK UP AND.
>> IF YOU DON’T GET THE ON SAYS
HE WANTS WITH THE FIRST PERSON
YOU
TALK TO PUTS YOU AND FOR THAT I
MEAN OFTENTIMES EVE HAD PARENTS
WHO HAVE BEEN
CONFIDENT THAT THIS BEEN
SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE CHILD,
BUT IT’S BEEN UNDERTAKEN
FLEE ENDS.
>> SO AND I THINK THAT THAT
BRINGS UP AN IMPORTANT POINT
ALSO BECAUSE I THINK WE MAKE AN
ASSUMPTION THAT WHEN OUR CHILD
IS AN EXAMPLE GOES TO THE
PEDIATRICIAN THAT AND WE LOVE
OUR PEDIATRICIANS THAT THEY ARE
GOING TO FIND SOME KIND OF
ABNORMALITY AND THEY MIGHT NOT
NECESSARILY BECAUSE FOR EXAMPLE
WHEN KIDS ARE GETTING SPORTS
PHYSICALS THEY’RE NOT GETTING
AN EKG IS PART OF THAT DO
PARENTS NEED TO BE
REQUESTING THAT.
>> I THINK IT’S A FAIRLY SIMPLE
AND INEXPENSIVE TEST THAT COULD
TELL A LEAD-IN INSIGHT INTO
SOME OF WHAT’S GOING ON
ELECTRICALLY IN YOUR CHILD’S
COUGH AND IN THE RIGHT HANDS,
IT’S A VERY USEFUL TOOL.
SO I I THINK IT WOULD BE I
WOULD REQUESTED FOR
MY CHILDREN.
>>LAUREN VERNO: IT’S FUNNY
AFTER DOING THESE KINDS OF
INTERVIEWS I DO REQUESTED AT MY
PEDIATRICIAN AND IF YOUR CHILD IS HAVING SOME KIND OF ISSUE ASSOCIATE WITH HARVEY YOU’RE
CONCERNED ABOUT THEN A REFERRAL
CAN GET THAT COVERED BY
INSURANCE AND YOU DON’T HAVE TO
SPEND A LOT OF MONEY OUT OF
THAT MARKET, THANK YOU FOR
BEING HERE. IT IS SO IMPORTANT
TOO BECAUSE IT’S ABOUT YOU KNOW
WE THINK ABOUT HAVING
CONVERSATIONS WITH
OUR CHILDREN ABOUT CERTAIN
THINGS MAY BE ASSOCIATED WITH
SCHOOL BUT WE HAVE TO REMEMBER
TO HAVE THOSE CONVERSATIONS
WITH THEM TO ABOUT THEIR BODIES
AND SPECIFICALLY THE NOTHING’S
GOING ON WITH THEIR HEART THAT
THEY NEED TO BE AWARE OF
