The correlation between cardiac T2*MRI and B-Type natriuretic peptides in patients with transfusion-dependent anemias and systemic iron overload: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Although natriuretic peptides cannot replace cardiac MRI, they may serve as accessible, low-cost adjunct biomarkers for screening, monitoring, and early warning of myocardial iron overload, particularly where MRI is limited. Further prospective studies are warranted to validate their role in longitudinal assessment and risk prediction.
