Sickle cell anaemia (SCA) significantly impacts cardiac health in Nigeria, yet cardiovascular involvement data is scarce. Greater awareness of SCA

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Hematology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Sickle cell anaemia (SCA) is Nigeria's most prevalent inherited hemoglobinopathy, causing significant morbidity and mortality, especially in children.
  • Cardiac manifestations are a key feature of SCA, but data on cardiovascular involvement in Nigeria and Africa is limited.
  • The growing prevalence of SCA necessitates increased awareness of its associated cardiac complications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the clinical features, cardiac structure and function changes (at rest and during exercise), pathology, and associated heart diseases in SCA.
  • To highlight recent global advancements in understanding cardiovascular changes in SCA.
  • To emphasize data from Nigerian studies on cardiovascular involvement in SCA.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review focusing on clinical features, cardiac structure and function, pathology, and associated heart diseases in SCA.
  • Emphasis on data derived from Nigerian studies.
  • Inclusion of recent global progress in understanding cardiovascular changes in SCA.

    • Main Results:

    • SCA presents with significant cardiac manifestations, including changes in cardiac structure and function.
    • There is a paucity of specific data on cardiovascular involvement in SCA within Nigeria and the broader African context.
    • Global research is advancing the understanding of cardiovascular changes in SCA.

    Conclusions:

    • Cardiac involvement is a critical aspect of sickle cell anaemia, demanding greater clinical attention in Nigeria.
    • Further research, particularly utilizing Nigerian data, is crucial to fully understand and manage cardiovascular complications of SCA.
    • Increased awareness among healthcare providers and the public regarding cardiac issues in SCA is essential.
