Risk factors and mortality associated with an elevated tricuspid regurgitant jet velocity measured by Doppler-echocardiography in thalassemia: a Thalassemia Clinical Research Network report.
An elevated tricuspid regurgitant jet velocity (TRV) is associated with hemolysis and early mortality in sickle cell disease, yet risk factors, clinical parameters, and mortality associated with this biomarker in thalassemia are poorly defined. This report summarizes the prevalence of an elevated TRV in 325 patients screened by Doppler echocardiography in the Thalassemia Clinical Research Netwo...
متن کاملevaluation of tricuspid regurgitant jet velocity in thalassemia patients with splenectomy
conclusions the etiology of pah in thalassemia is multifactorial such as inflammatory mediators. also, the absence of the spleen plays an important role in developing a high trv and pah. results average age of the patients was 21.15 ± 6.68 years. no significant difference was observed in the pap between the 2 groups of thalassemia major and intermedia and also the 2 sex groups. indeed, 6.6% of ...
متن کاملElevated tricuspid regurgitant jet velocity in children and adolescents with sickle cell disease: association with hemolysis and hemoglobin oxygen desaturation.
BACKGROUND Elevation of echocardiography-determined tricuspid regurgitant jet velocity predicts high systolic pulmonary artery pressure and early mortality in adults with sickle cell disease. The definition, prevalence and clinical correlates of elevated jet velocity have not been established in pediatric patients. The present study tested the hypotheses that elevated jet velocity affects 10% o...

BACKGROUND Cardiac complications are among the most serious problems of thalassemia intermedia patients. The current study was initiated to address the latter issue through the study of the echocardiographic findings and correlate it with clinical characteristics of thalassemia intermedia patients in Duhok, Kurdistan region, Iraq. METHODS An echocardiographic assessment of 61 beta-thalassemia...
