| Purpose The most important complication encountered in patients with b-thalassaemia major is degenerative fibrosis developing as a result of iron accumulation in myocardial tissue. Dysfunction pursues this accumulation. Recently, presence of fragmented QRS (fQRS) in ECG has been regarded as a predictor of myocardial fibrosis. We aimed in our study to investigate the frequency with which fQRS develops in patients with b-thalassaemia major and to disclose the correlation between fQRS frequency and Doppler-derived indices. Methods The patients with b-thalassaemia major (n=66; mean age: 23±6 years) and healthy controls (n=30; mean age: 23±4 years) were included. fQRS pattern was described as presence of RSR’ manifested as existence of additional R wave and notching in either R or S waves in ECG recordings. 2D, M-mode, conventional Doppler, tissue Doppler echocardiography parameters … |
