T2* Magnetic Resonance Imaging (CMR) is the only non-invasive tool for detecting and quantifying myocardial iron storage.We had observed that a large number of Thalassemia patients recently observed at our Centre develops a different form of HF, with evidence of diastolic dysfunction and often in absence of systolic dysfunction.</jats:p> <jats:p>Methods We evaluated the clinical, electrocardiographic, echocardiographic and Doppler data of 16 adult Thalassemia patients with HF observed at our Centre between 2008 and 2016, together with the data obtained by means of T2* CMR.
