## Abstract ## Purpose To determine the reference range in thalassemia major (TM) for left ventricular (LV) function. ## Materials and Methods We used cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) to measure heart volumes and function in 81 TM patients with normal myocardial T2\* measurements (T2\* >
## Abstract ## Aim We aimed to define reference ranges for right ventricular (RV) volumes, ejection fraction (EF) in thalassemia major patients (TM) without myocardial iron overload. ## Methods and results RV volumes, EF and mass were measured in 80 TM patients who had no myocardial iron overloa
