Transfusion and iron chelation therapy revolutionised survival and reduced morbidity in patients with transfusion-dependent beta thalassaemia major. Despite these improvements, cardiac disease remained the most common cause of death in those patients

Recent advances in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques allow the assessment of iron overload in tissues1 especially the heart,2 in transfusion- dependent thalassemia patients. The R2* value (1/T2*) recorded in the intraventricular septum of t

The benefits of combined deferoxamine (DFO) and deferiprone (L1) chelation therapy, focusing on reducing myocardial iron loading, have been widely reported. Herein, we present the efficacy of combined chelation and its effects on iron load indices. F

BACKGROUND: b-Thalassemia is an inherited hemoglobin disorder characterized by reduced synthesis of b-globin chain. The severity of clinical course distinguishes this heterogeneous disease in two main subtypes: thalassemia major (TM) and thalassemia

Background Thalassemia intermedia has a later clinical onset and a milder anemia than thalassemia major, characterized by high output state, left ventricle remodeling, and age-related pulmonary hypertension. Bone deformities, extramedullary hematopoi

In homozygous β-thalassemia, the organ damage is mainly attributed to excessive iron deposition through the formation of oxygen free radicals. Despite appropriate transfusion and chelation therapy and low ferritin levels, patients still develop orga
