Abstract

PURPOSE: We aimed to show the relationship between malnutrition and cardiac functions, and the effects of treatment on cardiac functions. MATERIAL and METHOD: We studied 15 children (8 girls, 7 boys), aged 5-24 months (12.47±5.79 months) with severe protein energy malnutrition We compared their echocardiographic findings with posttreatment echocardiography findings and those of 15 healthy children. RESULTS: Cardiac index was increased in the patients as compared to those of control group (p<0.05). Although there was no difference in ejection fraction between pretreatment and posttreatment period, there was significant difference in ejection fraction between patients and healthy children (p<0.05). The parameters of diastolic ventricular functions were reduced in patients as compared to those of control group. Left ventricular mass/body weight ratio in patients was significantly higher than that in the healthy children. CONCLUSION: (l)relative cardiac impairment occurs in systolic and diastolic functions in patients with protein energy malnutrition; (2) left ventricular mass/body weight ratio was higher in patients with protein energy malnutrition than control group.

Özet

AMAÇ: Malnutrisyonun kalp fonksiyonları üzerine etkisi ve tedavinin rolünün gösterilmesi amaçlanmıştır. GEREÇ ve YÖNTEM: Yaşları 5-24 ay (12.47±5.79ay) arasında değişen 7 kız, 8 erkek 15 malnütrisyonlu olgunun kas kitlesi ölçümü ve kardiyak fonksiyonları ekokardiyografı ile değerlendirildi. Çalışmaya ait tüm parametreler 6-8 aylık malnütrisyon tedavisinden sonra aynı olgularda ve ayrıca yaşları 3.5-24 ay (ort. 11.95±6.09ay) arasında değişen kontrol grubu üzerinde uygulandı. BULGULAR: Kardiyak indeks (CI) malnütrisyonlu grupda kontrol grubuna ve tedavi sonrası dönem sonuçlarına göre anlamlı yüksek bulundu (p 0.05). SVK/VA Malnütrisyonlu olgularda kontrol grubuna göre anlamlı yüksek bulundu. Sağ ve sol ventrikül diyastolik fonksiyonlarının malnütrisyonlu olgularda etkilendiği gösterildi. SONUÇ: 1) protein enerji malnütrisyonunda sistolik ve diyastolik fonksiyonlar olumsuz etkilenmektedir 2) malnütrisyonlu hastalarda sol ventrikül iş kapasitesini artmasına sekonder olarak sol ventrikül kitlesi nispi olarak artmaktadır.
