Resumen

ESPINOSA MARTINEZ, Edgardo et al. Pulmonary hypertension in adults with sickle cell anemia. Preliminary results. Rev Cubana Hematol Inmunol Hemoter [online]. 2010, vol.26, n.3, pp.206-215. ISSN 0864-0289.

A total of 104 adult patients presenting with sickle cell disease were assessed and classified into: group 1 (G1) patients without pulmonary hypertension (PHT) (n = 74) and group 2 (G2) patients with PHT (n = 30). There was a statistically significant decrease for hemoglobin, hematocrit and pulse oximeter and a significant increase of leukocytes, the lactic dehydrogenase, the total and indirect bilirubin, la MB creatine kinase and the creatinine in the G2-patients. The X2 test demonstrate a significant difference among groups for the acute thoracic syndrome (p = 0,05) more frequent in the G2. The PHT frequency in all patients assessed was of 28,8%. The ventricular extrasystoles were the more frequent alterations in the electrocardiogram in the G1 and the left ventricle hypertrophy in the G2; whereas in the Doppler echocardiogram the more frequent as the left ventricle dilatation in both groups. From the cases diagnosed with PHT (n = 30), 27 (73,3%) were classified as 1 degree; 7 (23,3%) 2 and 1 degrees (3,4%) 3 degree.

Palabras clave : Sickle cell disease; lactic dehydrogenase; pulmonary hypertension.
