Abstract
Young adults with β-TM exhibit both a global impairment of arterial vasorelaxation and early carotid atherosclerosis. A procoagulant/proinflammatory state in these transfusion-dependent patients may overwhelm atheroprotective mechanisms, including an optimal chelation regimen, and promote vascular injury and atherogenesis.
