Article Synopsis
- Early detection of heart issues in thalassemia patients is crucial, and four-dimensional echocardiography may help identify early cardiovascular problems.
- A study involving 200 children (100 with beta thalassemia major and 100 healthy controls) examined various echocardiographic factors, finding significant differences in ejection fraction, left ventricle mass, and other parameters.
- The study revealed that children with thalassemia had notably lower left ventricular strain values compared to controls, indicating potential heart dysfunction despite no clinical symptoms.
