Why the study?
Do 3D echocardiographic parameters of right ventricular function and strain predict outcomes in paediatric pulmonary hypertension patients?
Do 3D echocardiographic parameters of right ventricular function and strain predict outcomes in paediatric pulmonary hypertension patients?
3D echocardiographic parameters of right ventricular function and strain are useful prognostic predictors in pediatric patients with pulmonary hypertension.
May aid paediatric PH risk stratification; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before practice change.
Paediatric PH patients have impaired RV function compared with normal children. 3D RV EF, volumes, FAC, and free wall RV strain serve as outcome predictors for paediatric PH patients.
