Abstract Summary and Conclusion The neonatal heart is affected by extra-cardiac congenital and acquired diseases. The congenital diseases like congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). Acquired diseases like respiratory diseases such as; respiratory distress syndrome, transient tachypnia of newborn and neonatal pneumonia. Other diseases as neonatal encephalopathy, neonatal sepsis…etc. Neonatal echocardiography can provide a detailed real-time information concerning cardiovascular physiology, which may lead to rapid identification of the pathophysiology of circulatory failure in critically ill neonates such as those with sepsis or persistent pulmonary hypertension. Cardiac biomarkers indicate the structure and function of the heart and used widely in the management of myocardial injury and in adult patients. Their use in newborns has been increasing, but their clinical role as a guide for management in neonatal diseases is not clearly established and no current guidelines exist for their routine use. This study aimed at investigating the feasibility of the acquisition and analysis of 3D data sets, and to establish using 3D-STE, normal values for LV volumes, and ejection fraction (EF) as well as the 3D global strain (GS) parameters in a group of healthy preterm and full term neonates, velocity and deformation characteristics of the myocardium utilizing novel echocardiographic methods in common extra-cardiac diseases with asymptomatic cardiac neonates, the clinical role of cardiac biomarkers in neonatal extra cardiac diseases and to find |
