Key result
Scoliotic disease was associated with impaired systemic and pulmonary circulation, including altered left ventricular systolic function and pulmonary hypertension, particularly in severe adolescent cases.
Why the study?
Does scoliotic disease affect pulmonary and systemic hemodynamics compared to healthy controls?
Observational (n=270)
Does scoliotic disease affect pulmonary and systemic hemodynamics compared to healthy controls?
Thoracic scoliosis is associated with impaired systemic and pulmonary circulation, particularly in adolescents with severe and rapidly progressing forms of the disease.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support echocardiographic screening in severe adolescent scoliosis; leaves open causal direction and need for prospective validation.
Еналдиева et al. (2006) conducted an observational in Scoliotic disease (n=270). Scoliotic disease vs. Individuals without scoliotic deformities, heart and pulmonary diseases was evaluated on Changes in hemodynamics of greater and lesser circulation. Scoliotic disease was associated with impaired systemic and pulmonary circulation, including altered left ventricular systolic function and pulmonary hypertension, particularly in severe adolescent cases.
