Early Vascular Aging and Subclinical Myocardial Deformation in Children with β-Thalassemia Major: The Role of Asymmetric Dimethylarginine
2026-02-24
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background: </h4> Children with β-thalassemia major (β-TM) survive longer due to advances in transfusion and chelation therapy; however, cardiovascular complications have emerged as a leading cause of long-term morbidity. Chronic hemolysis, oxidative stress, and iron overload may promote early endothelial dysfunction and premature vascular aging, yet their impact on myocardial deformation in pediatric patients...
