Non-invasive depiction of hepatic and myocardial iron overload using MRI.

The myocardial and hepatic iron quantification can be reproducibly evaluated utilizing MRI to anticipate the iron chelation requirement and treatment of ventricular dysfunction. Myocardial iron overload can not be anticipated from the serum ferritin level or liver iron. Patients with advanced illnesses can only be detected using traditional heart function tests. The early increase of chelation treatment ought to decrease mortality from reversible cardiomyopathy.
