Klinefelter5has recently dispelled the confusion. He found cardiac hypertrophy without valvular or endocardial abnormalities, or myocardial damage in all 11 of his autopsied cases of sickle cell anemia. This may be compared with entirely similar findings in 22 of 23 cases of pernicious anemia reported by Cabot.6In...Bibliography1. ANDERSONWARE WWRL: Sickle cell anemia, Am. Jr. Dis.
