The provided clinical guidelines and literature do not contain specific information on the key clinical features to consider when assessing a child for congenital heart disease. The available literature discusses important echocardiographic features of select congenital heart disease and changes during pregnancy, rather than general clinical assessment features for children ((Majdalany and Marcotte, 2023)). The UK guidelines provided cover topics such as familial hypercholesterolaemia 1,8, fever in under 5s 2,3, child maltreatment 4,7, pre-conception advice 5, and intrapartum care 6.
