Cardiac performance and left ventricular dimensions in neonates with left-sided congenital diaphragmatic hernia before and after surgical repair

Mohamed Mahmoud Shalaby, Fatma Aboalsoud TahaTanta University.Egypt Journal of Cardiothoracic SurgeryJ Cardiothorac Surg 2026; DOI: 10.1186/s13019-026-04289-1 AbstractBackground: Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH) is associated with significant cardiopulmonary morbidity. Pulmonary Hypertension (PH) and left ventricular (LV) dysfunction are major determinants of outcome. While the impact of CDH repair on pulmonary hemodynamics is recognized, comprehensive serial assessment of cardiac performance,
