Improved survival of thalassaemia major in the UK and relation to T2* cardiovascular magnetic resonance
BACKGROUND The UK Thalassaemia Register records births, deaths and selected clinical data of patients with thalassaemia who are resident in the UK. A study of survival and causes of death was undertaken which aimed to include the possible impact of T2* cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR). METHODS The Register was updated to the end of 2003, copies of death certificates were obtained, and ...
متن کاملRelation of myocardial T2* to right ventricular function in thalassaemia major.
AIMS Myocardial T2* cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) provides a rapid and reproducible measure of cardiac iron loading and is being increasingly used worldwide for monitoring of transfusion-dependent thalassaemia patients. Although myocardial siderosis (T2* <20 ms) is associated with impaired left ventricular (LV) function, little is known of its relation with right ventricular (RV) func...
متن کاملEvaluation of tissue doppler echocardiography and T2* magnetic resonance imaging in iron load of patients with thalassemia major
Background: Iron-mediated cardiomyopathy is the main complication of thalassemia major (TM) patients. Therefore, there is an important clinical need in the early diagnosis and risk stratification of patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of tissue doppler imaging (TDI) to study cardiac iron overload in patients with TM using T2* magnetic resonance (MR) as the gold-standard...
متن کاملValue of black blood T2* cardiovascular magnetic resonance
PURPOSE To assess whether black blood T2* cardiovascular magnetic resonance is superior to conventional white blood imaging of cardiac iron in patients with thalassaemia major (TM). MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed both conventional white blood and black blood T2* CMR sequences in 100 TM patients to determine intra and inter-observer variability and presence of artefacts. In 23 patients, 2 ...
متن کاملInternational survey of T2* cardiovascular magnetic resonance in β-thalassemia major.
Accumulation of myocardial iron is the cause of heart failure and early death in most transfused thalassemia major patients. T2* cardiovascular magnetic resonance provides calibrated, reproducible measurements of myocardial iron. However, there are few data regarding myocardial iron loading and its relation to outcome across the world. A survey is reported of 3,095 patients in 27 worldwide cent...
