© 2020, Springer Nature B.V. Cardiac T2* MRI is used as a gold standard for cardiac iron quantification in patients with transfusion-dependent thalassemia (TDT). We hypothesized that left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction would reflect the severity of iron overload and can serve as an early det...
