Article Synopsis
- Compromised heart function and high pulmonary vascular resistance are common in neonates treated with therapeutic hypothermia for hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, but limited data exist on heart health post-NICU discharge.
- An evaluation of 70 neonates showed those with initial abnormal aEEG profiles had significantly reduced right ventricular strain and contraction compared to those with normal aEEG, suggesting ongoing cardiac issues.
- The findings stress the importance of long-term cardiovascular monitoring in these infants to better understand their health outcomes beyond their initial treatment.
