Development of Tissue Doppler derived predictors of hemodynamically Significant Patent Ductus Arteriosus and the ability to incorporate it in Targeted Neonatal Echocardiography protocol

ConclusionThis study concludes that septal S’ can be reliably used even by neonatologists for pre-symptomatic detection of HS PDA. This may also indicate the need of adding Tissue Doppler parameters to the standard protocol of Targeted neonatal Echocardiography.
