Why the study?
The study aimed to investigate the characteristic echocardiographic cardiac measurements of POEMS syndrome and determine their relationship with clinical manifestations.
Does POEMS syndrome cause subclinical impairment of echocardiographic cardiac measurements compared to healthy volunteers?
Does POEMS syndrome cause subclinical impairment of echocardiographic cardiac measurements compared to healthy volunteers?
Patients with newly diagnosed POEMS syndrome exhibit subclinical impairment of both right and left heart systolic and diastolic functions, along with elevated LV mass index and potential pulmonary hypertension.
