Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is frequently caused by adenotonsillar hypertrophy (ATH), which may be harmful to cardiac health. Our goal was to assess how OSA affected the right ventricular function in kids with adenotonsillar hypertrophy (ATH) and assess different modalities of cardiac function with the help of echocardiography. increased oxidative and nitrosative stress associated with disturbances in the antioxidant defense system has been implicated in the pathogenesis of several diseases.
