A two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography for the diagnosis of early myocardial disease in beta-thalassemia major patients

Background : Although magnetic resonance imaging T2* is considered the gold standard to assess myocardial iron overload in β-thalassemia patients, its routine use is limited by the high cost and limited availability. Recent data demonstrated that strain imaging by speckle tracking is a sensitive too...
