Abstrakt: There may also be considerable inter-centre variability even if the same methodology is being used to acquire the data.59 Transfusion-dependent patients should be having tailored MRI assessments of LIC routinely with a frequency dependent on the severity of iron burden, the intensity of chelation and the concordance with iron chelation therapy60,61 Cardiac iron Cardiac T2* is the current standard measure for assessing myocardial iron deposition and T1 mapping is being used in research settings.

Patients with transfusion-dependent DBA are more likely to develop severe IOL compared to other transfusion-dependent patients,12,13 with a greater propensity of myocardial IOL and higher NTBI levels.14 Some CDA-1 patients may have concurrent therapy with interferon to limit blood transfusion. NTRIA patients should be assessed on a disease and individual basis and chelation therapy or venesection (if Hb is adequate) considered if there is evidence of IOL (ferritin > 500 g/l or LIC > 5mg/g/dry weight) (2C).; SCD patients receiving top-up transfusions should be commenced on iron chelation as per TDT patients (1B).
