Myocardial iron load measured by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging to evaluate cardiac systolic function in thalassemia

BACKGROUND: The assessment of cardiac iron overload in thalassemia major has been considered as an important predictive factor of heart injury. The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-derived relaxation time parameter (T2*) varies inversely with iron level, and elevated myocardial iron levels by T2* ar...
