Early detection of pulmonary vasculopathy in children with sickle cell disease by new echocardiography-based blood speckle technology
Pulmonary vortex formation was a sensitive indicator of RV dysfunction, thus suggesting its accuracy in the early detection of early pulmonary vascular changes in SCD. LDH as a marker of intravascular hemolysis, is a sensitive marker that can be used for risk stratification of SCD patients.
