Evaluation of cardiac biomarkers in children with acute severe bronchial Asthma-A prospective study from tertiary care center in northern India

摘要

During the attacks of acute severe bronchial asthma there are marked cardiopulmonary changes leading to hypoxia. The study aims to find the incidence of myocardial dysfunction in patients of acute severe bronchial asthma based on cardiac enzyme levels at admission and see whether the myocardial damage is transient or persistent even after stabilization of the patient based on enzyme levels at discharge.
