Overview

There are no echocardiogram/ultrasound findings associated with megaloblastic anemia. However, an echocardiogram may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of megaloblastic anemia which include features of myocardial infarction when associated with hyperhomocysteinemia and dilated cardiomyopathy, and an ultrasound may show complication like splenomegaly.

Echocardiography/Ultrasound

  • There are no echocardiogran=m findings associated with megaloblastic anemia. However, an echocardiogram may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of megaloblastic anemia which includeS
    • Features of myocardial infarction when associated with hyperhomocysteinemia.[1]
    • Dilated cardiomyopathy[2]
  • There are no ultrasound findings associated with megaloblastic anemia. However, an ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of megaloblastic anemia, which include:
