Abstract
15 patients with cataract and 15 normalvolunteers were included in this study.
They wre examined in Benha university hospital during the period from october
1994 to June 1995.
All subjects were subjected to the following:
• Careful history taking andclinical examination to exclude systemic and
other cardiac disease. ; ; •
• Plain chest x - ray. postero - anterior view to exclude cardiomegaly and
lung diseases.
• Laboratory examination in the form of blood sugar and serum urea and
creatinine to exclude diabetes and kidney dysfunction. .,
• Resting electocardiogram to exclude left ventricular hypertrophy and
ischemic heart disease parameters.
• Echocardiogram to exclude cardiomyopathy f valvular heart diseases and to
evaluate diastolic function of the right ventricle through transtricuspid
Doppler flow velocity (AlE ratio) and diastolic function of the left ventricle
through transmitral Dopplerflow velocity (AlE ratio).
Statistical analysis was done between cases and control in right and left .
ventricular filling velocities parameters.
We found that diastolic dysfunction in: patient with cataract 60% in right
and left ventricle.
