Background: Heart disease is the main cause of mortality and morbidity in patients with beta
thalassemia, rendering its early diagnosis vital. We studied and compared …

Background: In electrocardiography (ECG), QT is the interval between the onset of Q wave
to the end of the T wave. This interval may be a sign of changes in the ventricular structure in …

抄録 Thalassemia patients are at high risk of iron-induced toxicity and oxidative stress
consequences. The present cross-sectional study is conducted to determine whether or not …

Abstract Background & Objective Cardiac complications are among the most serious
complications in Beta Thalassemia Major Patients. Our aim was to evaluate the value of …

The aim of the study was to evaluate cardiac function and early cardiac dysfunction of
patients followed as thalassemia major. In this study, the authors compared 100 patients …
