Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the appraisal of Doppler echocardiograms on dilated cardiomyopathy(DCM) in children. Methods 26 patients with DCM were tested by Doppler echocardiograms. The left ventricular diastolic function, systolic function, and pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP)were tested before and after treatment. Results After treatment , the systolic function still changed, but situation got well obviously. Diastolic function was mostly false normal type (52.6％ ), 3 patients returned to normal. Each index parameter (except E/A) of diastolie function was much different from the normal value(P<0.001). Serious continuous pulmonary hypertension is a prognosticate index for the children with DCM .Conclusions Doppler echocardiograms can be used to assess myocardium rehabilitation for the children with DCM.
