Use of strain, strain rate, tissue velocity imaging, and endothelial function for early detection of cardiovascular involvement in patients with beta-thalassemia

Use of strain, strain rate, tissue velocity imaging, and endothelial function for early detection of cardiovascular involvement in patients with beta-thalassemia

Background: Global ventricular function often remains normal in patients with beta-thalassemia major. (β-TM) until late. Tissue Doppler and strain imaging may be useful to assess regional myocardial function abnormalities in these patients. Methods: Systolic (Sm), early diastolic (Em), and late dias...
