Prospective changes of cardiac iron and function in low and intermediate-1 risk mds patients

چکیده
Background In patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) no longitudinal studies on cardiac iron, function and fibrosis are available in literature. So, the aim of our study was to assess the changes in cardiac iron overload and in the morpho-functional cardiac parameters by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in MDS patients enrolled in the MIOMED (Myocardial Iron Overload in MyElodysplastic Diseases) study who performed the follow-up (FU) MRI at 12 months.

Objectives of iron chelation therapy in myelodysplastic syndromes: more than meets the eye?
The role of iron chelation therapy in myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) remains controversial. Averting cardiac dysfunction in low-grade MDS patients who have sufficient longevity to experience deleterious cardiac effects of iron overload has been the major argument in favor of iron chelation. Although there is significant evidence showing the adverse impact of transfusion dependency on survival i...

متن کاملPerioperative changes in platelet count and function in patients undergoing cardiac surgery
Background: Patients undergoing cardiac surgery are at increased risk of bleeding due to multifactorial coagulopathies. In the present study, we aimed at investigating the changes in platelet count and function during and after surgery as well as determining the association of the platelet dysfunction with bleeding and transfusion requirements in these patients. Methods: A total o...
متن کاملCorrelation between QRS Complex Changes and Cardiac Iron Overload in Beta Thalassemia Major Patients Using T2*MRI
Background and purpose: Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a costly method to assess cardiac iron overload. The presence of fragmented QRS (fQRS) indicates changes due to iron overload in cardiac tissue. The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between fQRS and cardiac iron overload using cardiac MRI in patients with β-thalassemia major (β-TM). Materials and methods: This...
متن کاملPatterns of Changes in Abdominal Obesity Indices in Prediabetic Individuals: Results of a 16-year Prospective Cohort Study among First-degree Relatives of Type 2 Diabetic Patients
Introduction: Previous studies have not investigated the association of concomitant changes in obesity indicators with diabetes in prediabetic patients. This study aimed to identify the patterns of changes in the abdominal obesity indices over time in prediabetic patients and to predict high-risk individuals for the future risk of diabetes development. Materials and Methods: This prospective 16...
