Myocardial function in Saudi adolescents with vitamin D deficiency: Tissue Doppler imaging study
This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of 25(OH)D deficiency on the myocardial function and other echocardiographic variables in adolescent, using tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) and to correlate these parameters with 25(OH)D level. The study included 84 healthy adolescents, consecutively selected from adolescents attending the outpatient clinic of Saad Specialist Hospital, KSA between September 2013 and October 2014. The study population was classified into two groups; vitamin D deficient group with 25(OH)D level less than 20ng/mL and normal vitamin D (control group) with 25(OH)D equal or more than 30ng/mL. Both gro...
