Systolic Parameters
The systolic dysfunction results in a prolongation of IVCT by TDI with
preserved EF/SF [13]. In our study we did not find significant
difference in the values of MAPSE, TAPSE, LVEF, LVSF, which are systolic
parameters, between groups in fetal and neonatal periods. However, IVCT
values of RV TDI of neonatal and infant period were significantly
higher. But LVEF, LVSF are significantly lower in infant period at
normal range. Impaired ventricular compliance and persisting myocardial
dysfunction with hypertrophy may repress the LV systolic functions on
the long term.
