On improvement in ejection fraction with iron chelation in thalassemia major and the risk of future heart failure
BACKGROUND: Trials of iron chelator regimens have increased the treatment options for cardiac siderosis in beta-thalassemia major (TM) patients. Treatment effects with improved left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF) have been observed in patients without overt heart failure, but it is unclear...
