Target Audience
Physicians, advanced practiced providers and nurses in pediatric primary care (pediatrics, family medicine, general

Statement of Need
In Kentucky, 1 in 100 babies are born with a congenital heart defect and are under the ongoing care of a pediatric
cardiologist. These patients also are managed by primary care providers for their routine care. It is critical for primary
care providers to be aware of how to work in tandem with pediatric cardiologists for the ongoing management of these
patients, and to be able to identify any red flags that may present during a routine visit. Additionally, many acquired
cardiac conditions present during the pediatric years. Proper screening and referring in a timely manner can improve
patient outcomes.

At the conclusion of this offering, the participant will be able to:
1. Discuss epidemiology of MIS-C.
2. Review diagnostic criteria.
3. Discuss signs and symptoms of MIS-C.
4. Review treatment options and outcomes.
