[Cardiovascular diseases in heterozygote beta-thalassemia subjects].
Forty-four months analysis of cardiovascular diseases in a population with a high incidence of beta thalassemia trait is reported. A lower incidence of acute myocardiac infarctions, strokes, and their recurrence was observed in subjects with thalassemic trait; however they present more infarctions in later middle age and a lower incidence of atherogenic risk factors, specially hyperlipoproteinemias.
