Only in advanced stages of wet beriberi, the echocardiographic features of heart failure may appear as reduced ejection fraction and fractional shortening, enlarged cardiac chambers, and valvular insufficiency.
Echocardiography/Ultrasound
In advanced stages of wet beriberi, heart failure may occur. In this case, the classic echocardiographic picture of heart failure includes[1]
- Reduced ejection fraction.
- Reduced fractional shortening
- Large cardiac chamber sizes.
- Valvular insufficiency.
- Disturbed regional wall motion
