Abstract
Changes in cardiac size of sickle cell women in pregnancy does not appear to affect cardiac function during pregnancy and in the puerperium, suggesting that the increased size may purely be a response to their chronic anemic state. Studies following women up for longer periods including those with co-morbidities are recommended.
