Cardiac hemochromatosis remains the most frequent cause of death in beta-thalassemia major. Previous studies suggest an important right ventricular (RV) contribution to cardiac morbidity and mortality. Studies with Doppler echocardiography have shown contradictory results regarding left ventricular (LV) filling, whereas the RV filling characteristics have not been studied yet. We prospectively studied the pattern of RV filling and investigated echocardiographic and clinical correlates during baseline and follow-up examinations in patients with beta-thalassemia major.
