Prediction of long-term survival in patients with transfusion-dependent hemoglobinopathies: Insights from cardiac imaging and ferritin

Aims: The current study evaluated the association of echocardiography, cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR), and ferritin data with 10-year survival in thalassemia patients. Methods: Demographics, ferritin, echocardiography, and CMR parameters of stable consecutive thalassemia patients were prospectivel...
