Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Iron-burden-induced arrhythmia and heart failure are among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in β-thalassaemia major patients. T2* cardiac magnetic resonance remains the only reliable noninvasive method for the heart iron excess assessment. We explored the role of single nucleotide polymorphisms involved in vitamin D metabolism, transport and activity and in deferasirox (DFX) metabolism on...
