In a large cohort of regularly transfused thalassemia
patients, the presence of extramedullary hematopoiesis
(EMH) assessed by MRI was not rare. EMH was associated
to a heart thalassemia intermedia like pattern (reduced
cardiac iron loading and stigmata of high cardiac output
state) despite the transfusional regimen
