Cardiac Performance Evaluation in Children With Steroid Dependent vs Steroid Resistant Nephrotic Syndrome
Sponsor: Sohag University
Summary
nephrotic syndrome (NS) is one of the most common pediatric kidney diseases There is an increased incidence of heart disease in patients with primary nephrotic syndrome (PNS) compared to the normal population Conventional Echocardiography is usually utilized to diagnose myocardial dysfunction. Tissue Doppler imaging is a non-invasive cardiac imaging technique which measures the velocity of the longitudinal motion of the mitral annulus, tricuspid annulus and the basal part of interventricular septum
