Lung function and exercise capacity in thalassaemia major.
Lung function abnormalities in thalassaemia major are various and complex; however, patients still die from cardiac lesions. This study aimed to investigate pulmonary and cardiac involvement at an early stage in thalassaemic patients and study their respective implications at rest and during exercise. Ten patients (five adults and five children) with thalassaemia major were investigated by echo...
متن کاملPlatelet function in beta-thalassaemia major.
Abnormal platelet aggregation was found in eight (44%) of 18 patients with beta-thalassaemia major and transfusional iron overload. The aggregation defect bore no correlation with the degree of hepatic fibrosis, liver function tests, whether or not splenectomy had been performed, the degree of iron overload, haematocrit, platelet count, serum vitamin E level, or leucocyte ascorbate concentratio...
متن کاملLeft ventricular function in I thalassaemia major
The left ventricular dimension and posterior wall dynamics were studied by computer assisted analysis ofM mode echocardiography in 25 normal children (group 1) and 32 transfusion dependent children with ,1 thalassaemia major who had no evidence of heart failure (group 2). Twenty seven of those in group 2 remained well but five died of cardiac decompensation within 12 months. Compared with group...

متن کاملPulmonary function and exercise capacity after lung resection.
The influence of pulmonary resection on functional capacity can be assessed in different ways. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of lobectomy and pneumonectomy on pulmonary function tests (PFT), exercise capacity and perception of symptoms. Sixty eight patients underwent functional assessment with PFT and exercise testing before (Preop), and 3 and 6 months after lung resection. In...
