Excerpt

Iron-overload cardiomyopathy is a potential complication of transfusion-dependent chronic anemic patients, resulting in significant morbidity and mortality. Beta-thalassaemia major is the commonest cause of iron-overload cardiomyopathy worldwide, representing a major health problem in endemic areas, where heart failure due to iron overload is the principal cause of death. …
