Comparison of diastolic function in children with transfusion dependent beta thalassemia major by tissue and conventional doppler imaging indices and its correlation with serum ferritin levels

Comparison of diastolic function in children with transfusion dependent beta thalassemia major by tissue and conventional doppler imaging indices and its correlation with serum ferritin levels

Regular blood transfusions for children with beta thalassemia major (β- TM) results in iron overload cardiomyopathy/cardiac failure. Mortality in these children is most often because of heart failure. We compared Tissue Doppler Imaging (TDI) and conventional pulse wave Doppler (PWD) indices in eval...
