Objective: To determine the presence of acute myocardial dysfunction in status asthmaticus. Methodology: Prospective studies were included acute severe asthma patients admitted to intensive care from January 2008 to September 2013. We included a control group with healthy athletes subjected to stress by "bench press n=20-" and "combat karate for 15 minutes, n=14-", SC2000-2013 Siemens Echocardiography was available in the gym. Cardiac stress response of asthmatic patients and athletes was evaluated by echocardiography. An off-line analysis by 3D Image and hybrid speckle tracking was performed. We performed analysis by means of using ANOVA test. Results: 32 asthmatic patients (11 males) were included, with a median age of 31 (17-40 years). The age of the controls was 33.45 ± 0.9 years. The left ventricular ejection fraction was similar although.. Read More»
