Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Beta thalassemia major (β-TM) is a severe genetic anemia with considerable phenotypic heterogeneity. This study investigated whether genotype correlates with distinct myocardial iron overload patterns, assessed by cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) T2* values. METHODS: CMR data for cardiac iron deposition evaluation, which recruited pediatric participants between January 2021 and December 2024,...
