Evaluation of Right Ventricular Function by Tissue Doppler Echocardiography in Asthmatic Children
BackgroundAsthma is the most chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways in children and asthmatic patients can experience cardiac dysfunction, pulmonary hypertension and finally cor pulmonale later in life. We aimed to investigate Right Ventricular (RV) functions in asthmatic children by conventional and tissue Doppler echocardiography (TDE).Materials and Methods Pulmonary function tests, con...
متن کاملEchocardiography in the assessment of right heart function.
Assessment of right heart function remains difficult despite rapid technological echocardiographic developments. This review addresses the anatomical and physiological basis for assessment of right ventricular function. It also addresses advantages and limitations of individual echocardiographic techniques currently used in clinical and academic practice. The review concludes that volume calcul...
متن کاملevaluation of right ventricular systolic function by echocardiography in pulmonary hypertension associated with congenital heart disease: a cross sectional study
background pulmonary arterial hypertension (pah) is a serious complication of unrepaired congenital left-to-right shunts. the final consequence is right ventricular (rv) systolic dysfunction and reversal of shunt. objectives the aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical course and paraclinical findings in a group of patients with pah associated with congenital heart disease (pah-chd). we a...
متن کاملRight ventricular function by strain echocardiography.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Right ventricular (RV) function is an independent determinant of prognosis in a number of pathologies, but its accurate quantification by echocardiography remains a challenge. With the evolving clinical utility of RV strain and strain imaging, several studies have used it to investigate normal and pathologic conditions. However, marked shape adaptations of the RV and the wide ...
