© 2018 The Author(s). Early detection of iron overload cardiomyopathy is an important strategy for decreasing the mortality rate of patients with transfusion-dependent thalassemia (TDT). Although cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) T2* is effective in detecting cardiac iron deposition, it is costly and...
