Summary
This study tested whether L-Arginine, a natural amino acid, can safely help children with sickle cell disease who have increased blood flow speed in their heart (a sign of lung pressure). Fifty kids aged 5-18 took L-Arginine for 3 months. Researchers measured changes in heart blood flow and blood markers to see if the treatment improves heart function.
