EL-Khuffash Assessment and Treatment of Post Patent Ductus Arteriosus Ligation Syndrome 2014.0 8 .pdf application/pdf 6488 887 60 Objective To compare differences in tissue Doppler imaging, global longitudinal strain (GLS), and cardiac troponin the low-output group were treated with milrinone, and by 18 hours LV performance recovered to levels comparable demonstrated that a left ventricular output (LVO) <200 mL/kg/min on echocardiography evaluation 1 hour after ligation is predictive of developing PLCS over the subsequent few hours.6 Early administration of milrinone to infants with low LVO PDA ligation resulted in significant changes in myocardial tissue Doppler measures and myocardial strain imaging. echocardiography (STE) in neonates with high (>200 mL/min/kg) vs low (<200 mL/min/kg) LVO 1 hour after PDA ligation. We hypothesized that the tissue Doppler and strain measures at 1 hour postoperatively would be lower in infants with low LVO LV systolic performance in the group with low LVO treated with milrinone. ligation, infants in the low-LVO group had TDI velocities ./cache/work_nsbybyydpjad7bkrjgj7ib7gki.pdf ./txt/work_nsbybyydpjad7bkrjgj7ib7gki.txt
