Various milestones in surgery for congenital heart diseases are mentioned.

Sequelae of congenital heart diseases in the adult: arrhythmias related to scars and myocardial dysfunction, valvular disease,  persistent shunts, pulmonary or systemic vascular disease etc.

Heart rate and blood pressure response in to head up tilt test in neurocardiogenic syncope has been classified into types I to III.

Oxygen step up in the right ventricle is seen in: a) PDA with PR b) RSOV into left atrium c) Sinus venosus ASD d) Cor Triatriatum

All the following are revised Jones major criteria except: a) Erythema nodosum b) Migratory polyarthritis c) Sydenham’s chorea d) Subcutaneous nodules
