Left ventricular wall motion abnormalities in transfusion-dependent thalassemia: A large cross-sectional cardiovascular magnetic resonance study
Key Points
Left ventricular wall motion abnormalities are significantly present in transfusion-dependent thalassemia patients, indicating potential cardiac risks.
Key evidence shows that 64% of the participants exhibited abnormalities in wall motion based on cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging.
Observational analysis utilizing cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging was conducted to assess myocardial function in patients.
Highlighting the need for regular cardiac assessment in thalassemia, as management may improve cardiovascular health.
