[The dynamics of left ventricular segmental diastolic function in patients with iron-deficit anemia treated within the course of treatment with sorbifer and triovit].

The parameters of segmental left ventricular (LV) diastolic function were studied by tissue myocardial Doppler echoCG in 54 patients with severe iron-deficit anemia (IDA) before treatment and after one month of treatment with sorbifer combined with triovit. The control group consisted of 16sex- and age-matched practically healthy persons. The following parameters were studied: early diastolic wave velocity (Ve), late diastolic wave velocity (Va), and Ve/Va ratio in 15 LV segments. Alterations in diastolic function were found in the majority of LV segments; they included a decrease in Ve, an increase in Va, and a decrease in Ve/Va in patients with severe IDA. Administration of sorbifer combined with triovit in this category of patients facilitated improvements in the parameters of LV segmental diastolic function.
