Excerpt

Combination therapy with deferipron and desferrioxamine (DFP+DFO) seems more effective than DFP and DFO in monotherapy in removing myocardial iron. However, no data are available in literature about prospective comparisons on cardiac iron and function in TM patients treated with DFP+DFO versus DFP and DFO in monotherapy. Aim: The aim of this multi-centre study was to assess prospectively in a large clinical setting the efficacy of the DFP+DFO versus DFP and DFO in TM patients by quantitative MR. …
