Abstract:Purpose
In sickle cell disease, 3-D transthoracic echocardiography is increasingly essential for early diagnosis and subsequent risk stratification of potential cardiac complications. This topic can be effectively explored by delving deeper into its pathophysiology.
Methods
With this aim the results of 3-D echocardiography explorations, performed in a cohort of 46 pediatric patients with homozygous or heterozygous sickle-cell disease, were reassessed using a predominant morpho-functional approach.
