Assessment of Ventricular Function in Adults with Sickle Cell Disease: Role of Two-Dimensional Speckle-Tracking Strain

Background Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a hemoglobinopathy that is common worldwide. It usually presents with cardiac involvement, although data on systolic function are somewhat controversial. The aim of this study was to investigate the value of speckle-tracking strain, a deformation index, in det...
