J Magn Reson Imaging
. 2007 Aug;
26(3):564-8.
PMID: 17729345
Purpose: To use cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) techniques to examine possible causes for the left ventricular (LV) dilatation that occurs in sickle cell disease (SCD), including the effects of chronic...

Br J Haematol
. 2007 Jul;
138(5):587-93.
PMID: 17610536
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was used to quantify myocardial iron loading by T2* in 11 transfusion-dependent good prognostic myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) patients. Myocardial T2*, left ventricular function and hepatic T2*...

Westwood M, Anderson L, Maceira A, Shah F, Prescott E, Porter J, et al.
J Magn Reson Imaging
. 2007 May;
25(6):1147-51.
PMID: 17520718
Purpose: To determine the reference range in thalassemia major (TM) for left ventricular (LV) function. Materials And Methods: We used cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) to measure heart volumes and function...

Anderson L, Westwood M, Prescott E, Walker J, Pennell D, Wonke B
Acta Haematol
. 2006 Jan;
115(1-2):106-8.
PMID: 16424659
It is believed that myocardial iron deposition and the resultant cardiomyopathy only occur in the presence of severe liver iron overload. Using cardiovascular magnetic resonance, it is now possible to...

Blood
. 2005 Dec;
107(9):3738-44.
PMID: 16352815
Most deaths in beta-thalassemia major result from cardiac complications due to iron overload. Differential effects on myocardial siderosis may exist between different chelators. A randomized controlled trial was performed in...

J Magn Reson Imaging
. 2005 Jul;
22(2):229-33.
PMID: 16028255
Purpose: To compare left ventricular (LV) diastolic function with myocardial iron levels in beta thalassemia major (TM) patients, using cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR). Materials And Methods: We studied 67 regularly...

Br J Haematol
. 2004 Oct;
127(3):348-55.
PMID: 15491298
Heart failure from iron overload causes 71% of deaths in thalassaemia major, yet reversal of siderotic cardiomyopathy has been reported. In order to determine the changes in myocardial iron during...

Horm Res
. 2004 Apr;
62(1):17-22.
PMID: 15073434
Background: Many factors can negatively affect growth in thalassemic patients, and hypogonadism has been considered as the main factor responsible for their pubertal growth failure. Objective: To evaluate the influence...
