Objective: To evaluate the predictors of left ventricle (LV) systolic dysfunction after PDA closure by device.

Back ground: LV dysfunction is very common in patients after PDA closure by device. There are certain predictors leading to it.

Methods: 63 patients of isolated PDA. Patients were admitted in paediatric cardiology department of National Institute of Cardiovascular Disease Karachi, Pakistan. Baseline echocardiography was performed. Hemodynamics were done during cardiac catheterization, pulmonary blood flow/systemic blood flow (QP/QS) and pulmonary vascular resistance calculated. After successful device closure echocardiography ... view more»
