The authors evaluate the effects of sickle cell anemia in infancy, including increased heart rate and left ventricular diameter. Thirty-three asymptomatic infants and young children were studied using M-mode echocardiography to determine left ventricular size and function. The data indicate that left ventricular diameter is larger than normal and that cardiac function (VCF) may be below normal.

Key Words: sickle cell anemia • left ventricular dimension • left ventricular function • echocardiography
