The aim of our study was to assess the changes in
cardiac and hepatic iron overload and the
morpho-functional cardiac parameters by MRI in
myelodysplastic patients who performed the follow-up
(FU) MRI at 12 months. The new occurrences of cardiac
iron, reduced cardiac function, increased LV and RV EDVI
and myocardial fibrosis and the worsening in MRI LIC
(liver iron concentration) values suggest the need of
performing periodic MRI scans, in order to better manage
these patients.
