Egyptian Pediatric Association Gazette

Table 4 Comparison between cases with poor vs. good maternal glycemic control as regards diastolic dysfunction

Diastolic dysfunction		Poor control (n = 25)	Good control (n = 25)	p
Pulsed wave Doppler
RV-DD	Present	22	19	0.46
RV-DD	Absent	3	6	0.46
LV-DD	Present	18	10	0.023^*
LV-DD	Absent	7	15	0.023^*
Tissue Doppler imaging
RV-DD	Present	21	17	0.32
RV-DD	Absent	4	8	0.32
LV-DD	Present	25	15	0.001^*
LV-DD	Absent	0	10	0.001^*

*Statistically significant
