Abstract

To evaluate if cardiac dysfunctions are important in assessing the outcome in newborns with Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD), by evaluating cardiac functions with N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels, M-mode and tissue doppler echocardiography at 6-12 mo of age.
