Journal ArticleDOI
Changes in myocardial function and hemodynamics after ligation of the ductus arteriosus in preterm infants.
TL;DR: After PDA ligation, LV output and MPI decrease, due primarily to a decrease in LV preload, although LV contractility and diastolic function do not change, however, the changes in LV MPI after ligation also reflect an acute deterioration followed by an improvement in global cardiac function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Utility of B-type natriuretic peptide in differentiating congestive heart failure from lung disease in pediatric patients with respiratory distress.
TL;DR: It is concluded that BNP level is of value in differentiating cardiac from pulmonary causes of respiratory distress in children.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cardiovascular Effects of Sildenafil in Neonates and Infants with Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia and Pulmonary Hypertension
TL;DR: Preliminary findings suggest that sildenafil may improve cardiac output by reducing pulmonary hypertension refractory to iNO in patients with CDH.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Cardiac surgery performed during the symptomatic period of RSV infection is associated with a high risk of postoperative complications, especially postoperative pulmonary hypertension, and more studies are needed regarding the proper timing of cardiac surgery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hemodynamic changes after low-dosage hydrocortisone administration in vasopressor-treated preterm and term neonates.
TL;DR: In preterm and term neonates who require high-dosage dopamine to maintain blood pressure at the lowest acceptable levels, hydrocortisone improves blood pressure without compromising cardiac function, systemic perfusion, or cerebral and renal blood flow.
