【 摘 要 】

We introduce a 28-year-old woman with Thalassemia major whose clinical assessment, including two-dimensional Doppler echocardiography demonstrated severe left ventricular hypertrophy with severe biventricular enlargement and systolic dysfunction as well as severe diastolic dysfunction. We hereby address these issues from an echocardiographic point of view.
