abstract background iron overload is the main transfusion related side effects in patients with transfusion dependent hemoglobinopathies. severe iron deposition in tissues leads to organ dysfunction. many organs can be affected such as heart, liver, and endocrine organs. cardiac failure and liver fibrosis are the consequent of iron overload in transfusion dependent hemoglobinopathy. magnetic re...

Background: Patients with beta-thalessemia major present with severe anemia and need continous transfusion therapy. An important complication of beta-thalessemia major is iron deposition in cardiac tissue, resulting in fibrosis and dysfunction. Cardiac involvement is the major cause of death in beta-thalessemia major. The purpose of this study was to assess cardiac disease patients with bet...
