Popis:	The cardiovascular impact of dexamethasone (Dex) is not well understood. Most data are obtained from a 6 week, high-dose regimen, and are limited to findings of hypertension and cardiac hypertrophy. The present study ascertained the impact of low-dose Dex on cardiac indices when administered to extremely preterm infants for lung disease. A pre-post intervention prospective echocardiographic (Echo) study was undertaken, with cardiac assessments performed before and within 24 h after completion of first course of therapy (10 day regimen, cumulative 0.89 mg kg
