Dynamic exercise echocardiography.
To evaluate left ventricular (LV) reserve, we developed a method of dynamic exercise echocardiography (DEE). Forty-six healthy persons and 47 cardiac patients performed bicycle ergometer exercise in the supine position. A special table was used on which the subjects could be firmly attached at shoulder level to prevent bodily movements which might disturb the recordings. In 83% of the subjects ...
متن کاملEvaluation of tissue doppler echocardiography and T2* magnetic resonance imaging in iron load of patients with thalassemia major
Background: Iron-mediated cardiomyopathy is the main complication of thalassemia major (TM) patients. Therefore, there is an important clinical need in the early diagnosis and risk stratification of patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of tissue doppler imaging (TDI) to study cardiac iron overload in patients with TM using T2* magnetic resonance (MR) as the gold-standard...
متن کاملEndocrine Dysfunctions in Iron Overload in Patients with Major Thalassemia
Abstract Background The aim of the present study was to determine the endocrine dysfunction in patients with major thalassemia, who receive hyper transfusion. Materials and Methods This cross sectional study was performed during one year, which included 65 major thalassemia patients (31 females and 34 males), aged between 14 month to 27 years old (median 10,3). Growth assessment was measur...
متن کاملRestrictive diastolic abnormalities identified by Doppler echocardiography in patients with thalassemia major.
The consequences of transfusional iron overload on left ventricular diastolic filling have never been investigated systematically in patients with thalassemia major. In the present study, the pattern of left ventricular filling was assessed by Doppler echocardiography in 32 patients with thalassemia major (age, 17 +/- 5 years) who had not experienced symptoms of heart failure and had normal lef...
متن کاملPrevalence of HCVAb and HBsAg in Patients with Beta-thalassemia Major in Amirkola Thalassemia Center
Background and purpose: Beta-thalassemia major is a genetic disorder with known globin defect that leads to chronic hemolytic anemia. Due to the need for recurrent blood transfusion, the risk of infectious diseases such as hepatitis is higher in these patients. Materials and methods: This cross-sectional study recruited 518 patients with thalassemia major in Amirkola Thalassemia Center, 2013-2...
