Aspects écho-cardiographiques au cours de la drépanocytose en Guadeloupe

Abstract: IntroductionL'atteinte cardiovasculaire représente le facteur pronostique majeur de la drépanocytose.MéthodesC’était une étude transversale et descriptive dans le service de cardiologie du centre hospitalier et universitaire de Pointe-à-Pitre.RésultatsNous avons inclus 82 patients, 23 hommes (28%) et 59 femmes (72%), âgés en moyenne de 40,0±12 ans. On avait 39 patients porteurs d'hémoglobinose SS (49,4%) et 40 porteurs d'hémoglobinose SC (50,6%). Le taux d'hémoglobine de base était en moyenne de 9,8±1,8 g/dl e… Show more

“…Thus, for the same hemoglobin level, resting cardiac output was higher in sickle cell patients than in subjects with chronic anemia of other etiologies. 1 This is probably due to the oxygen desaturation of arterial blood, due to the decreased affinity of hemoglobin S for oxygen, but even more so to the formation of left-sided intra pulmonary shunts due to vaso-occlusive phenomena. 8 This increase in cardiac output has long been incriminated as the primum movens of cardiac damage in sickle cell patients.…”

“…The disease affects more than 50 million people worldwide, particularly in black Africa and the Mediterranean region. 1 Globally, hemoglobin disorders are responsible for about 3.4% of deaths in children under 5 years of age. 1,2 Nevertheless, the life expectancy of sickle cell patients has improved in recent years with healthier lifestyles, medical monitoring, and new therapies.…”
