Why the study?

Does echocardiography accurately diagnose hypoplasia of the left or right ventricles in neonates?

Structured PICO

Does echocardiography accurately diagnose hypoplasia of the left or right ventricles in neonates?

Population

58 neonates, including 6 patients with autopsy-proved aortic atresia and hypoplastic left ventricle, 2 patients with surgically proved tricuspid atresia and hypoplastic right ventricle, and 50 normal newborns serving as a control group.

Intervention

Echocardiographic studies

Comparator

Normal newborns (n=50)

Outcome

Echocardiographic measurements including ventricular dimensions, atrial dimensions, and valve closure velocitiessurrogate

Echocardiography provides distinct and diagnostic measurements for identifying hypoplastic left or right ventricles in neonates with aortic or tricuspid atresia.

Discussion

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.

Implication

Echocardiography may distinguish aortic from tricuspid atresia by ventricular dimensions in neonates; leaves open prospective validation of diagnostic accuracy.
