deferiprone and Cardiovascular Diseases

deferiprone has been researched along with Cardiovascular Diseases in 2 studies

Deferiprone: A pyridone derivative and iron chelator that is used in the treatment of IRON OVERLOAD in patients with THALASSEMIA.
deferiprone : A member of the class of 4-pyridones that is pyridin-4(1H)-one substituted at positions 1 and 2 by methyl groups and at position 3 by a hydroxy group. A lipid-soluble iron-chelator used for treatment of thalassaemia.

Cardiovascular Diseases: Pathological conditions involving the CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM including the HEART; the BLOOD VESSELS; or the PERICARDIUM.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"We used combined therapy with desferrioxamine and deferiprone to treat 79 patients with severe iron overload (serum ferritin higher than 3000 ng/mL) who had low compliance with subcutaneous desferrioxamine."3.73Combined therapy with deferiprone and desferrioxamine in thalassemia major. ( Agus, A; Bina, P; Crobu, G; Defraia, E; Dessì, C; Galanello, R; Leoni, G; Muroni, PP; Origa, R, 2005)
"Cardiac iron overload was induced to a greater extent than in a previous study by feeding the mice with an iron-enriched diet for 4 months."1.43Dual T-type and L-type calcium channel blocker exerts beneficial effects in attenuating cardiovascular dysfunction in iron-overloaded thalassaemic mice. ( Chattipakorn, N; Chattipakorn, SC; Fucharoen, S; Kumfu, S, 2016)
