here are the answers:
1) Congenital Rubella - PDA (although peripheral pulmonic stenosis is more common, but most questions look for this association)
2) Turner's - Coractation of Aorta (very characteristic, although bicuspid aortic valve is also fairly common in these individuals)
3) Di George - TAPVR (part of the 22q11 deletion sequence/CATCH 22 syndrome - causes variety of conotruncal defects)
4) Down's - Endocardial Cushion Defect (most common defect, although VSD also occurs commonly)
5)Kartagener's - Dextrocardia (part of the Triad of Kartagener's - situs inversus and dextrocardia, recurrent sinopulmonary infections and Infertility)
6) William's - Supravalvular Aortic Stenosis (Elfin Facies Syndrome - persons have a "Cocktail Party Platter" personality, hypercalcemia is an associated finding)
7) Marfan's - Aortic Insufficiency
these associations are fairly straightforward.
hey guys i'm new to this forum. i've just given step 1 and about to start off preparations for Step2. i'm an IMG from India. any suggestions regarding how much time time it roughly takes for preparation for step2. since i'm working full time so i need to plan in advance. any and every suggestion would be really welcome.
thanks
drvic
PS: other imp associations that you should know:
Infant of Diabetic Mother - hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
Asplenia Syndrome - Cyanotic CHDs with dec Qp
Polysplenia Syndromes - Acyanotic CHDs with Inc Qp
Holt Oram and Thrombocytopenia-Absent Radius (TAR) syndrome - ASD
APKD - MVP
Lithium exposure in utero (mother on Li in pregnancy) - Ebstein's Anomaly
there are many more but these are the essential ones. hope these suffice for now. lemme know your feedback about these
