- Abstract
Sickle cell anemia (SCA) is the most common inherited anemia. Although heart involvement in SCA is well-established, there is no data about changes of contraction synchrony in SCA. Therefore, we aimed to study the left ventricular contraction synchrony in SCA patients with narrow QRS and normal ejection fraction (EF).
