Abstract:
Objective To explore the cardiac function of right ventricles in children with various course of bronchial asthma. Methods The cardiac function was evaluated by using the Doppler echocardiography in 36 chil-dren with course > 1 year bronchial asthma in remission stage and 38 children with course ≤ 1 year bronchial asthma in remission stage. 40 healthy children were used as normal controls. After treatment, 10 children with course > 1 year were evaluated again. Results The injury of right ventricle systolic function was predominant in children with > 1 year bronchial asthma, The systolic function of right ventricle remained normal in children with ≤ 1 year bronchi-al asthma. Conclusion The cardiac function damage occurs in children with > 1 year bronchial asthma and will be recoveied by cure the astham. The Doppler echocardiography is noninvasive method for determination of cardiac func-tion.
