https://cvja.co.za/journal/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Heart-Disease-on-Women.jpg1500941In Wilson’s disease (WD), copper accumulation in the organs and/or damage caused by oxygen free radicals occurs due to disturbances in copper excretion. In our study, we aimed to evaluate cardiac involvement with advanced echocardiographic modalities (tissue Doppler echocardiography, strain and strain-rate echocardiography).
