Abstract

Sickle cell disease (SCD) affects millions of people and causes chronic hemolytic anemia leading to vasculopathies such as pulmonary hypertension and abnormalities in cardiac function that increase complications and mortality. It is therefore crucial to identify cardiac abnormalities in SCD. We aimed to assess the prevalence of echocardiographic parameters in SCD to help identify cardiopulmonary risk. Ninety-one patients (53% male), median age of 30, body surface area (BSA) of 1.79 m2 , hemoglobin of 8.8 g/dL, and creatinine of 0.7 mg/dL identified. We retrospectively measured laboratory and echocardiographic parameters in patients with SCD : left ventricular (LV) dimensions, LV ejection fraction (LVEF), LV Myocardial Performance Index (MPI), LV Mass Index (MI), Left Atrial Volume Index (LAVI), Tricuspid Regurgitation Velocity (TRV), tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE), right heart dimensions. Prevalence of left heart abnormalities was 32%: increased LV end-diastolic diameter (EDD), 78%: LV MPI, 21%: diastolic dysfunction, 38%: decreased LVEF, 24%: increased LVMI, and 47%: increased LAVI. Right heart abnormalities were 39%: TAPSE, 38%: increased TRV, and 59%: increased pulmonary systolic pressure (PASP). Multivar...Continue Reading

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.

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.

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.
