Tissue Doppler Echocardiographic Assessment of Cardiac Function in Neonatal Sepsis

Starting soon

Conditions studied: Neonatal Sepsis, Markers

In brief

1. To assess myocardial function in neonates with sepsis using tissue doppler echocardiography. 2. To assess sepsis induced cardiac dysfunction. 3. To measure serum levels of sepsis markers (CBC,CRP,Blood culture) and cardiac troponin in neonatal sepsis. 4. To analyze the correlation between echocardiographic parameters and serum biomarkers. 5. To determine whether these echocardiographic techniques can serve as early predictors of cardiac involvement in neonatal sepsis.
