Pulmonary hypertension in beta thalassemia: a prospective cohort study on treatment outcomes and cardiopulmonary function
Repeated blood transfusions correlate with RV dysfunction in thalassaemia patients with PH. Vasodilatory treatment improves 6MWT, proBNP levels, and E/e' ratio, indicating RV function enhancement. This study underscores the importance of comprehensive management strategies for thalassaemia patients with PH to mitigate associated complications and improve outcomes.
