Abstract

Perinatal Asphyxia is a common problem with incidence varying from 0.5- 2% of live births. It is a third most common cause of neonatal death (23%) after preterm birth (28%) and sepsis (26%).The asphyxia injury involve virtually every organ system of body. In this study clinical parameters, Electrocardiographic changes and Cardiac enzymes studied to evaluate the myocardial function in newborns with perinatal asphyxia. In general myocardial function is often under diagnosed and requires high index of suspicion. Neonates with severe hypoxic damage reflected significant changes in ECG and enzymes levels.
