Diabetes mellitus and cardiac complications in thalassemia major patients
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 prese...
متن کاملCardiac T2* magnetic resonance for prediction of cardiac complications in thalassemia major.
BACKGROUND The goal of this study was to determine the predictive value of cardiac T2* magnetic resonance for heart failure and arrhythmia in thalassemia major. METHODS AND RESULTS We analyzed cardiac and liver T2* magnetic resonance and serum ferritin in 652 thalassemia major patients from 21 UK centers with 1442 magnetic resonance scans. The relative risk for heart failure with cardiac T2* ...
متن کاملHeart T2* for prediction of cardiac complications in well-treated thalassemia major patients
Background T2* Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) technique allows noninvasive quantification of organ-specific iron burden, playing a key role in the management of thalassemia major (TM) patients. There are few data on the incidence of heart failure and arrhythmias in TM patients according to baseline T2* values. So, the aim of this study was to establish prospectively the risk of cardiac compli...
متن کاملRenal complications of beta-thalassemia major in children.
The success that has been made in the care of patients with thalassemia has led to the emergence of unrecognized complications including several renal abnormalities. Chronic anemia and iron overload as well as the use of iron chelator are believed to lie behind these abnormalities. Many investigators document the presence of tubular dysfunction and abnormalities in glomerular filtration rate in...
متن کاملAssociation between serum ferritin level and diastolic cardiac function in patients with major β-thalassemia
Abstract Background Prevention of myocardial siderosis is a key step to reduce rate of mortality in thalassemic patients. Our objective was to study association between echocardiography parameters and serum ferritin level in patients with major thalassemia. Materials and Methods Sixty-six patients with major thalassemia were studied in Amir Kabir hospital, Arak, Iran. Serum ferritin levels ...
