Trial Outcomes

Cardiac MRI T2*

Change in cardiac iron concentration (measured using cardiac MRI T2*), assessed as difference between value at 12 months minus value at baseline. MRI T2* is a non-invasive method based on gradient echo (GRE) sequences, where T2* represents the spin-spin relaxation times, measured in milliseconds. The faster the curve decreases (ie, the smaller T2*), the greater amount of iron is in the tissue. Treatment success was assessed as follows: if baseline cardiac T2* was less than 20 ms, an increase of 10% or more after 1 year of treatment was defined as treatment success; if baseline cardiac T2* was more than 20 ms, any increase or a decrease of less than 10% after 1 year of treatment was defined as treatment success.
