Evaluation of cardiac function in paediatric Wilson’s disease patients with advanced echocardiographic modalities (strain and strain rate echocardiography)

Subclinical early diastolic dysfunction and segmental systolic dysfunction were detected in WD patients with advanced echocardiographic modalities, in addition to normal cardiac function as assessed by conventional echocardiography. Advanced echocardiographic modalities can be used in the follow up of WD patients.
