Abstract
Summary
Introduction:
Thalassemia is an Inherited hemoglobin-related
disorders. Life expectancy in patients with thalassemia
major is still limited by development of congestive heart
failure due to a cardiomyopathy associated with iron overload
.The early detection and treatment of heart failure due to
any reason in patients with thalassemia major improve the
prognosis and increase the life expectancy.
Echocardiography is a useful and non invasive
diagnostic tool for diagnosis of heart disorders and helps with
early detection of heart failure before the development of
symptoms. 2D strain analysis technique is a new method for
assessment of myocardial function. It offers many
advantages as it is less time-consuming, angle independent,
can assess strain in 3 dimensions.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging: (MRI) has emerged as
a powerful and reliable tool to non invasively study the
cardiovascular system in clinical practice. The technique can
also provide critical insights into cardiac and vascular
morphology, function, and physiology.
