Prolonged IVRT and DT indicate diastolic dysfunction in children with ESRD; leaves open whether Doppler tissue imaging adds value beyond conventional parameters.
Does Doppler tissue imaging correlate with conventional Doppler echocardiography in detecting LV diastolic dysfunction in children with ESRD?
Children with ESRD exhibit echocardiographic signs of LV diastolic dysfunction after dialysis, which can be effectively assessed using Doppler tissue imaging.
