Low Vitamin D Levels Are Associated with Increased Cardiac Iron Uptake in Beta-Thalassemia Major
We evaluated the association of vitamin D and parathormone (PTH) levels with cardiac iron and function in beta-thalassemia major (β-TM) patients. Two-hundred and seventy-eight TM patients (39.04 ± 8.58 years, 56.8% females) underwent magnetic resonance imaging for the assessment of iron overload (T2...

Summary: | We evaluated the association of vitamin D and parathormone (PTH) levels with cardiac iron and function in beta-thalassemia major (β-TM) patients. Two-hundred and seventy-eight TM patients (39.04 ± 8.58 years, 56.8% females) underwent magnetic resonance imaging for the assessment of iron overload (T2* technique), biventricular function parameters (cine images), and replacement myocardial fibrosis (late gadolinium enhancement technique). Vitamin D levels were deficient ( |
