Objectives: We aim to explore and analyze the related influencing factors of liver and cardiac iron overload in MDS patients detected by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Methods: We have detected cardiac T2* and liver T2* by MRI in 105 MDS patients. Among them, 20 patients accepted MRI examination before and after iron chelation therapy (ICT). : We found that adjusted ferritin (ASF) was significantly correlated with liver T2* and cardiac T2*. RBC transfusion volume, brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and age were the related factors of cardiac T2*, while RBC transfusion volume and erythropoietin (EPO) were related factors of liver T2*. After ICT, the changes of ASF and liver T2* were earlier than cardiac T2*. Chronic hepatitis but virus copy normal's has no significant effect on liver iron deposition.
Conclusion: These results showed special attention should be paid to these related influencing factors of liver and cardiac T2* expression when we evaluated iron overload and detected the efficacy of ICT in MDS patients.

Background: Many patients with β-thalassaemia die prematurely due to iron overload. In this study, we aim to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the triple combination of deferoxamine, deferasirox and deferiprone on iron chelation in patients with transfusion-dependent β-thalassaemia with very high iron overload.
Methods: This open-label, randomised, controlled clinical trial was conducted at Colombo North Teaching Hospital, Sri Lanka.

Background And Aims: The relationship between the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and the incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF) remains insufficiently explored. This investigation aims to elucidate the association between the TyG index and the long-term risk of developing AF.
Methods And Results: This cohort study analyzed data from 409,705 participants sourced from the UK Biobank database.
Detecting Hemorrhagic Myocardial Infarction With 3.0-T CMR: Insights Into Spatial Manifestation, Time-Dependence, and Optimal Acquisitions.

Background: Hemorrhagic myocardial infarction (hMI) can rapidly diminish the benefits of reperfusion therapy and direct the heart toward chronic heart failure. T2∗ cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is the reference standard for detecting hMI. However, the lack of clarity around the earliest time point for detection, time-dependent changes in hemorrhage volume, and the optimal methods for detection can limit the development of strategies to manage hMI.

Background: Despite a phenylalanine (Phe) restrictive diet, most adult patients with 'classical' phenylketonuria (PKU) maintain life-long Phe concentrations above the normal range and receive tyrosine (Tyr) and protein-enriched diets to maintain acceptable concentrations and ensure normal development. While these interventions are highly successful in preventing adverse neuropsychiatric complications, their long- term consequences are incompletely explored. We observed early cardiomyopathic characteristics and associated hemodynamic changes in adult PKU patients and present here the results of a longitudinal evaluation of cardiac phenotype.

: Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) plays a central role in the diagnosis and follow-up of acute myocarditis (AM). In this study, we aimed to evaluate baseline and follow-up CMR findings and associated factors in children with AM. : A retrospective analysis of CMR in pediatric patients with clinical presentations suggestive of myocarditis was performed.
