Effect of deferiprone or deferoxamine on right ventricular function in thalassemia major patients with myocardial iron overload
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Thalassaemia major (TM) patients need regular blood transfusions that lead to accumulation of iron and death from heart failure. Deferiprone has been reported to be superior to deferoxamine for the removal of cardiac iron and improve...
