Ventricular Function and Pulmonary Artery Pressure in Children with Mild and Moderate Bronchial Asthma
Background:Bronchial asthma is a chronic airway disease. Cardiac affection in children with bronchial asthma was reported mainly in cases with severe asthma and during acute exacerbations.

Cardiac affection in children with bronchial asthma was reported mainly in cases with severe asthma and during acute exacerbations. Aim of the Work:To study cardiac affection in children with mild and moderate bronchial asthma using conventional and tissue Doppler imaging [TDI] echocardiography. Patients and Methods:This was a prospective case control study. Study involved 160 children aged 6-14 years’ old who were following in outpatient pediatric clinic, Al-Hussein hospital, Al-Azhar University, Cairo, Egypt, during the period from January 4, 2016, till February 15, 2017. All children underwent peak expiratory flow rate [PEFR] assessment. Echocardiography was done for all to assess systolic and diastolic functions of right ventricle [RV] and left ventricle [LV] using conventional and tissue Doppler imaging [TDI] echocardiography Results:TDI parameters showed evidence of RV diastolic dysfunction in patients with moderate asthma in the form of significantly lower tricuspid valve [TV] e’ [12.1 ± 2.7 cm/s], lower TV e’/a’ ratio [1.28 ± 0.18], prolonged RV isovolumetric relaxation time [IVRT] [71.8 ± 2.4 ms], and higher RV myocardial performance index [0.49 ± 0.04] compared to control group. Also, patients with mild asthma had impaired RV diastolic function in the form of significantly lower TV e’/a’ [1.51 ± 0.13] and longer RV IVRT [65 ± 2.9 ms] compared to control group. Pulmonary artery pressure was significantly elevated in moderate asthma group [18.4 ± 9.2 mmHg]. RV IVRT was the only parameter showing a significant negative correlation to PEFR Conclusion: Pediatric patients with mild and moderate bronchial asthma may have RV diastolic dysfunction. TDI is a good screening tool to detect early changes in cardiac function in such patients. RV IVRT measured by TDI is a sensitive tool to detect early diastolic impairment.Tarek Kotb AlsayadSaad Ahmed MohamedAl-Azhar University, Faculty of Medicine (Damietta)articlebronchial asthmachildrenventricular functiontissue doppler imagingpulmonary artery pressureMedicine (General)R5-920ENInternational Journal of Medical Arts, Vol 3, Iss 3, Pp 1754-1760 (2021) |
