A Novel Speckle-Tracking Echocardiography Derived Parameter That Predicts Clinical Worsening in Children with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

A Novel Speckle-Tracking Echocardiography Derived Parameter That Predicts Clinical Worsening in Children with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

Pulmonary arterial hypertension is a severe, progressive disease in children, that causes right ventricular dysfunction over time. Tissue motion annular displacement is a novel speckle-tracking derived echocardiographic parameter used in assessing ventricular function. The aim of our study was to de...
