Background: Sickle cell disease is an inherited blood disorder which can lead to severe complications, particularly in the cardiovascular and respiratory systems, potentially resulting in arrhythmias, pulmonary hypertension (PH), and cardiomegaly. This study aims to investigate the risk of PH and arrhythmias in adult SCD patients.
Methods: Retrospective analysis of medical records from King Abdulaziz University Hospital (KAUH) for patients with SCD aged 15 and above between 2009 and 2021.
