Effects of ω-3 PUFAs Supplementation on Myocardial Function and Oxidative Stress Markers in Typical Rett Syndrome

Figure 1

Dietary ω-3 PUFAs supplementation for 12 months significantly improves biventricular systolic longitudinal parameters in girls with typical Rett syndrome. MAPSE: mitral annular plane systolic excursion; TAPSE: tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion; : peak systolic velocity of lateral mitral annulus; : peak systolic velocity of septal mitral annulus; : peak systolic velocity of tricuspid annulus of right ventricle; PASP: pulmonary arterial systolic pressure; : ratio between peak early diastolic mitral flow ( ) and peak late diastolic mitral flow ( ); : peak early diastolic velocity of lateral mitral annulus; : peak early diastolic velocity of tricuspid annulus of right ventricle; : this ratio indirectly estimates left ventricle end-diastolic filling pressure.
