چکیده
Background The relationship between diabetes mellitus (DM) and cardiac complications has never been systematically studied in thalassemia major (TM). The aim of this crosssectional study was to evaluate in a large historical cohort of TM in the cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) era if DM was associated with an higher prevalence and risk of heart complications, also regardless to the presence of myocardial iron overload (MIO).

متن کاملAssessment of Organ Specific Iron Overload in Transfusion-dependent Thalassemia by Magnetic Resonance Imaging Techniques
The consequence of repeated blood transfusions in thalassemia is iron overload in different organs. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a reliable, non-invasive and accurate method for iron detection in various tissues, hence the introduction of MRI has revolutionized the management of these patients and improved the life expectancy of them. Cardiac MRI T2* has a profound effect not only on est...
