Detection of Early Cardiac Dysfunction in Patients with Beta Thalassemia by Tissue Doppler Echocardiography

Backgrounds: In this study we tried to evaluate the prognostic significance of several echocardiographic parameters on the occurrence of heart failure or arrhythmias in patients with beta thalassemia. Methods: We investigated possible differences in myocardial function between a population of 37 asy...
