Cardiovascular Associations with Abnormal Brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Neonates with Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy Undergoing Therapeutic Hypothermia and Rewarming.
This article compares hemodynamic characteristics of neonates with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) receiving therapeutic hypothermia (TH) with normal versus abnormal brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). ⋯ Longitudinal changes in cardiac output were noted in neonates with HIE during TH and rewarming. Echocardiography evidence of PH, however, was associated with abnormal MRI brain. The prognostic relevance of these physiologic changes requires more comprehensive delineation.
