Even though cardiac involvement is rarely in clinical, myocardial fibrosis is to be expressed in proportion of %50-80. When clinical symptomatic cardiac dysfunction

The Relation between Cardiac T2 Value and the Presence of Fragmented QRS in Patients with β-thalassemia Major, who Received Iron Chelation Therapy

PP-177nnT2 * values, measured by cardiac MRI are recomended for the identification of patients at high risk for development of heart failure and arrhythmia in beta thalassemia major (TM) patients. Conditions that lead to non-homogeneous activation like myocardial fibrosis, lead to the development of
