Tissue Doppler imaging versus conventional echocardiography in assessment of cardiac diastolic function in full term neonates with perinatal asphyxia

Limited number of studies evaluated cardiac diastolic function in neonates with perinatal asphyxia using tissue Doppler imaging. The aim of this study was to evaluate the echocardiographic parameters in full-term neonates with perinatal asphyxia compared to healthy full-term neonates. Diagnostic value of echocardiographic parameters of diastolic dysfunction in predicting mortality in asphyxiated neonates was assessed.Neonatal intensive care unit...
