Thalassemia is a genetic disease caused by disruption of globin chain synthesis leading to
severe anemia and thus regular blood transfusion is necessary. However, there have been …

Cardiovascular complications are the most common cause of death among thalassemia
patients in Thailand. In this study, we evaluated the prevalence of cardiac iron overload …

Background: Iron-loaded cardiac complication is the essential cause of mortality in patients
with thalassemia. Early detection and treatment of cardiac over-load can reduce mortality …

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 …

We explored the severity and risk factors for cardiac and liver iron overload (IOL) in 69
thalassemia patients who underwent T2* magnetic resonance imaging (T2* MRI) in a …

This cross-sectional study aimed to establish the association between serum ferritin levels
and organ iron overload (IO) and overall morbidity in transfusion-dependent thalassemia …

Background: routine blood transfusion in transfusion-dependent-thalassemia (TDT) causes
iron accumulation in various organ. Serum markers of iron overload, serum ferritin and …

Introduction: In this study, we aimed to assess the relationship of cardiac and hepatic T2*
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) values as a gold standard for detecting iron overload …

Objectives: Recent advancements have promoted the use of T2* magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI) in the non-invasive detection of iron overload in various organs for …

Background Lifelong blood transfusion is recommended for patients with transfusion-
dependent thalassemia (TDT) that lead to iron overload and results in cardiomyopathy (CM) …
