ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE; to investigate whether attacks of acute chest syndrome affected pulmonary artery pressure in patients homozygous for sickle cell disease. MAIN OUTCOME

MEASURES:

Pulmonary artery pressure, assessed by non-invasive echocardiographic techniques. PATIENTS; 20 patients with homozygous sickle cell disease with a history of at least six episodes of acute chest syndrome and in 20 age, sex, and height matched controls with homozygous sickle cell disease without a history of acute chest syndrome.

RESULTS:

There was no difference in any of the echocardiographic or Doppler indices between these two groups.

CONCLUSIONS:

Repeated attacks of acute chest syndrome by the mean age of 12 ( range eight to 16 ) years have not had a discernible effect upon pulmonary artery pressure (AU)
