Are the preferential patterns of myocardial iron overload preserved at the CMR follow-up?

چکیده
Methods Among the 812 TM patients with a CMR follow-up (FU) study at 18±3 months, we selected 259 patients with significant MIO at baseline (global heart T2* <26 ms). Three short-axis views of the left ventricle were acquired and analyzed using a 16-segment standardized model. The T2* value on each segment was calculated, as well as the global value. Four main circumferential regions (anterior, septal, inferior and lateral) were defined.

Improvement of heart iron with preserved patterns of iron store by CMR-guided chelation therapy.
AIMS [Formula: see text] multislice multiecho cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) allows quantification of the segmental distribution of myocardial iron overload (MIO). We evaluated whether a preferential pattern MIO was preserved between two CMR scans in regularly chelated thalassaemia major (TM) patients. METHODS AND RESULTS We evaluated prospectively 259 TM patients enrolled in the MIO in Tha...

BACKGROUND Myocardial siderosis is the most common cause of death in patients with beta thalassemia major(TM). This study aimed at investigating the occurrence, prevalence and severity of cardiac iron overload in a young Chinese population with beta TM. METHODS AND RESULTS We analyzed T2* cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and serum ferritin (SF) in 20...

Background: Cardiac complications due to iron overload are the most common cause of death in patients with thalassemia major. The aim of this study was to compare iron chelation effects of deferoxamine, deferasirox, and combination of deferoxamine and deferiprone on cardiac and liver iron load measured by T2* MRI. Methods: In this study, 108 patients with thalassemia major aged over 10 years...
متن کاملUsing Iron-Chelating Agents in Critically Ill Patients with Iron Overload. Fact or Fiction?
Recently, some evidence has shown that the failure of iron homeostasis may occur in critically ill patients and can lead to iron overload. Elevated ferritin levels as a body iron burden index in critically ill patients may be associated with depressed level of consciousness and greater mortality. However, the necessity of using iron-chelating agents in clinical situation is still unknown for th...
