Journal: Kafkas Journal of Medical Sciences
Year: 2024

Aim: There is a complex relationship between asthma and cardiac functions.According to speckle-tracking echocardiography studies, asthma, especially severe asthma, was associated with left and right ventricular subclinical dysfunction.The literature lacks data comparing the cardiac functions during exacerbations and stable periods in patients with asthma.In this study, we aimed to investigate cardiac functions using speckle-tracking echocardiography during exacerbations and in the stable phase i
