Abstract

Sickle cell anemia (SCA)-related cardiomyopathy is characterized by diastolic dysfunction and hyperdynamic features. Diastolic dysfunction portends early mortality in SCA. Diastolic dysfunction is associated with microscopic myocardial fibrosis in SCA mice, but the cause of diastolic dysfunction in humans with SCA is unknown. We used cardiac magnetic resonance measurements of extracellular volume fraction (ECV) to discover and quantify diffuse myocardial fibrosis in 25 individuals with SCA (mean age, 23 ± 13 years) and determine the association between diffuse myocardial fibrosis and diastolic dysfunction. ECV was calculated from pre- and post-gadolinium T1 measurements of blood and myocardium, and diastolic function was assessed by echocardiography. ECV was markedly increased in all participants compared with controls (0.44 ± 0.08 vs 0.26 ± 0.02, P < .0001), indicating the presence of diffuse myocardial fibrosis. Seventeen patients (71%) had diastolic abnormalities, and 7 patients (29%) met the definition of diastolic dysfunction. Participants with diastolic dysfunction had higher ECV (0.49 ± 0.07 vs 0.37 ± 0.04, P = .01) and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP; 191 ± 261 vs 33 ± 33 pg/mL, P = .04) but lower he...Continue Reading

Anemia

Anemia develops when your blood lacks enough healthy red blood cells. Anemia of inflammation (AI, also called anemia of chronic disease) is a common, typically normocytic, normochromic anemia that is caused by an underlying inflammatory disease. Here is the latest research on anemia.

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle, that can lead to muscular or electrical dysfunction of the heart. It is often an irreversible disease that is associated with a poor prognosis. There are different causes and classifications of cardiomyopathies. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to this disease.

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.
