Childhood intermittent exotropia from a different angle: does severity affect quality of life?
It is difficult to predict child HRQOL based on clinical measurements. However, parent HRQOL tends to be worse with poorer control and larger angle of deviation. Perhaps HRQOL should be routinely assessed in clinic alongside clinical measurements in order to tailor management appropriately.
In outpatients with new-onset symptoms of HF, LA dysfunction was observed. It might be the initial mechanism in the development of symptoms in HFPEF patients. These findings support the relationship of LA dysfunction with HFPEF, suggesting that the analysis of LA function may be useful in sinus rhythm patients with new-onset dyspnoea.
