Correlation of Serum Ferritin and Cardiac Iron Toxicity with Cardiac Function in Transfusion Dependent Beta-Thalassemia Major Patients

Correlation of Serum Ferritin and Cardiac Iron Toxicity with Cardiac Function in Transfusion Dependent Beta-Thalassemia Major Patients

Background: Cardiac iron toxicity is a major cause of mortality in transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemia major patients. The main modality for detecting cardiac iron toxicity is MRI T2* with limited availability. This study aims to obtain iron toxicity profiles in transfusion-dependent beta-thalass...
