Why the study?
Does idiopathic scoliosis impair left ventricular myocardial performance in children and adolescents?
Does idiopathic scoliosis impair left ventricular myocardial performance in children and adolescents?
Children and adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis exhibit impaired left ventricular mechanics that correlate with the severity of the spinal deformity.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May warrant strain imaging in moderate-severe cases; leaves open reversibility after deformity correction.
