Infant of Diabetic Mother
Conditions
Brief summary
The aim of this work was to: 1. Evaluate the use of echocardiography in the assessment of hemodynamic stability in newborns. 2. Determine the prevalence of congenital heart diseases or any cardiac abnormalities in infants born to diabetic mother in relation to the glycemic control of their mothers

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Detection of incidence of congenital heart disease in infants of diabetic mothers | First week | This was done using echocardiography: two-dimensional study, color Doppler, pulsed and continuous wave Doppler as well as m-mode study. |
| Hemodynamic significance of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA)and patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) | First two months of life | This was done using echocardiography: two-dimensional study, color Doppler, pulsed and continuous wave Doppler as well as m-mode study for assessments of PDA and PFO in infants of diabetic mothers in comparison with healthy controls. |
| Assessment of left ventricular dimensions in infants of diabetic mothers in comparison to healthy controls. | First two months of life | Using M-mode images under guidance of two dimensional echocardiography in parasternal long axis view was done for all participants measuring of the following: * Left ventricular end systolic diameter (LVDs). * Left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVDd). * Inter ventricular septal diameter (IVSd). * Left ventricular posterior wall thickness during diastole (LVPWd). * Left ventricular posterior wall thickness during systole (LVPWs) those measures are compared in infant of diabetic mothers and healthy controls. |
