We herein describe a 22-year-old woman, who was a known case of sickle cell-βthalassemia, had a history of recent missed abortion, and was admitted with a vaso-occlusive...
متن کاملThe heart in sickle cell disease, a model for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.

The abnormal hemoglobin polymerizes after releasing oxygen to the tissues, producing long filaments that contort the erythrocyte into a characteristic sickle-shaped conformation. Cardiopulmonary complications, including pulmonary hypertension, diastolic dysfunction, and sudden death (1), are the most common ...
