In many preterm infants, the ductus arteriosus remains patent beyond the first few days of
life. This prolonged patency is associated with numerous adverse outcomes, but the extent …

Hemodynamic instability and inadequate cardiac performance are common in critically ill
children. The clinical assessment of hemodynamic status is reliant upon physical …

Chronic pulmonary hypertension of infancy (cPHi) is a heterogeneous disease process that
contributes to morbidity and mortality in preterm infants. cPHi is most commonly associated …

Background The aim of this study was to determine the maturational changes in systolic
ventricular strain mechanics by two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography in …

Rationale: Asphyxiated neonates with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) are at risk of
myocardial dysfunction; however, echocardiography studies are limited and little is known …

Objective To assess patterns of postnatal ventricular function and their relationship to
prenatal and postnatal markers of disease severity in infants with congenital diaphragmatic …

Advances in neonatal cardiac imaging permit a more comprehensive assessment of
myocardial performance in neonates that could not be previously obtained with conventional …

This review article is focused on an overview of the most common applications of functional
neonatal echocardiography also called targeted neonatal echocardiography or …

Objectives To evaluate whether incorporating conventional, tissue Doppler imaging and
speckle tracking echocardiography are reliable and can characterize changes in left …

Importance There is a beneficial association between human breast milk exposure in the
neonatal period and cardiac mechanics in adults who were born preterm. It is unknown …
