“…Furthermore, the radiation dose requirements in auxiliary examinations make cardiac MRI even more important in evaluations of PE. 29 Although MRI is used as the gold standard for evaluating cardiac function in all cardiovascular diseases, its application in children with PE has not been studied until recently. 1 14-16 Humphries et al 14 used MRI to measure the enddiastolic and end-systolic volume, wall thickness, myocardium index, stroke index, and partial and total left and right ventricular function of six children with clinical symptoms of PE before surgery and 6 weeks after surgery.…”

BackgroundPectus excavatum, the most common chest wall deformity in children, accounts for nearly 90% of congenital malformations of chest wall. Initially, both parents and doctors paid more attention to the influence of this deformity on patient appearance and psychology. Following deeper studies of pectus excavatum, researchers found that it also affected cardiac functions. The purpose of this review aims to present recent research progress in the effects of pectus excavatum on cardiac functions.Data sourcesBased on aspects of CT, ultrasound cardiography (UCG) and MRI, all the recent literatures on the influence of pectus excavatum on cardiac function were searched and reviewed.ResultsModerate and severe pectus excavatum did have a negative effect on cardiac function. Cardiac rotation angle, cardiac compression index, right atrial and tricuspid annulus size, septal motion and myocardial strain are relatively effective indexes to evaluate cardiac function.ConclusionsPectus excavatum did have a negative effect on cardiac function; so surgeons should actively diagnose and treat such patients in clinical work. However, further research is needed on to explore the measures and indicators that can reflect the changes of cardiac function in patients objectively, accurately, effectively and timely.
