Impact of Asthma Phenotypes on Myocardial Performance and Pulmonary Hypertension in Children and Adolescents With Moderate to Severe Persistent Asthma

Rajkumar Kundavaram, Praveen Kumar, Shikha Malik, Girish Bhatt, Priya Gogia, Amber KumarAll India Institute of Medical Sciences.India CureusCureus 2023; 15DOI: 10.7759/cureus.44252 AbstractBackground: Asthma is characterized by chronic inflammation and remodeling of pulmonary vessels and airway wall resulting in pulmonary hypertension (PH). Increased afterload on right ventricle (RV) myocardium leads to RV diastolic dysfunction (RVDD). Echocardiography is an
