Urine NT-proBNP Levels and Echocardiographic Findings in Very Low Birth Weight (VLBW) Infants

NCT00799123 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 100

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The aim of the study is to evaluate urine NT-proBNP levels and new Echocardiographic Findings in VLBW infants. The investigators hypothesize that high urine NT-proBNP concentrations are associated with a hemodynamically significant ductus arteriosus. The investigators also hypothesized that new echocardiographic parameters such as isovolumic relaxation time (IVRT)is useful for the prediction of ductus intervention.
