were young (age, 15.1±3.2 years) and 54 were adults (age, 25.1±3.6 years). The findings were compared with those obtained from 22 young (age, 13.8±2.4 years) and 24 adult (age, 25.3±4.1 years) normal individuals. In both groups of patients, peak flow velocities in eariy (E) and late (A) diastole were higher than in the control subjects (young E: P<.01; adult E: P<.001; young A.. P<.05; adult A P<.05), whereas

LEFT VENTRICULAR DIASTOLIC ABNORMALITIES IN β-THALASSEMIA MAJOR WITH NORMAL SYSTOLIC FUNCTION
In order to identify left ventricular diastolic function in patients with betathalassemia major and normal systolic function by noninvasive M-mode and Doppler echocardiography, an analytic study was designed in a university hospital in Sari. We have studied 44 patients (23 men and 21 women), mean age 15.48±2.16 (range 12 to 20) and 43 age and sex matched control subjects. Peak flow velocit...

BACKGROUND Diastolic left ventricular function expressed by diastolic Doppler characteristics of the left ventricle has never been properly investigated. METHODS AND RESULTS Left ventricular inflow and pulmonary vein flow patterns were assessed by Doppler echocardiography in 88 beta-thalassemia major patients with normal left ventricular systolic function; 34 were young (age, 15.1 +/- 3.2 yea...

ABSTRACT Due to the frequency of major thalassemia in our country and cardiac complications secondry to iron overload as one of the most important causes of death in these patients and the absence of any similar study in this region (Kashan city), we studied the cardiac complications in patients with major thalassemia in Kashan in 1999 and 2000. A prospective descriptive study was perf...
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...

Background: Cardiac dysfunction due to chronic anemia and hemosiderosis are the major causes of death among patients with thalassemia intermedia. This study was performed to compare the cardiac function in thalassemia intermedia patients with normal subjects by means of echocardiography. Materials and Methods: This was a case-control study performed on 22 patients affected by thalassemia int...
