The prevalence of LVHT/noncompaction in children with SCD is lower than the adult population and LV systolic function is well preserved throughout our patient group. The mechanism behind the development of LVHT in this population remains speculative. Further work is required in this field. Sickle cell patients require longitudinal evaluation to ascertain changes in left ventricular function and the presence of LVHT/noncompaction.
