ABSTRACT
In patients with sickle cell disease (SCD), SCD-related cardiomyopathy may be partly due to repeated ischaemic events related to sickling during vaso-occlusive crises, but few clinical studies support this hypothesis. We evaluated the incidence of acute myocardial ischaemia during vaso-occlusive crises as assessed by the left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LVGLS) and high-sensitive cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT). We included adult patients with SCD admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) for vaso-occlusive crisis. We collected hs-cTnT and measured LVGLS with echocardiography at admission (day 1), day 2, day 3 and ICU discharge. Among 55 patients included, considering only the first hospitalization of patients admitted several times, 3 (5%) had elevated hs-cTnT at ≥1 time point of the ICU stay. It was ≤2 times the upper limit of normal in two of these patients. LVGLS was altered at ≥1 time point of the ICU stay in 13 (24%) patients. Both hs-cTnT and LVGLS were abnormal at ≥1 time point of the hospital stay in 2 (4%) patients. Acute myocardial injury as assessed by troponin elevation and LVGLS impairment was a rare event during vaso-occlusive crises.
