Overview

Echocardiography and ultrasound have limited diagnostic value in sickle cell disease.

There are no echocardiography findings associated with sickle cell disease. However, an echocardiography may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of sickle cell disease, which include:[1]

  • Pulmonary hypertension due to vaso-occlusive crisis
  • heart failure
