Abstract: Primary hyperoxaluria (PH) is characterized by progressive chronic kidney disease (CKD) and systemic oxalate deposition. Myocardial dysfunction might be present early in the course of the disease. However, this hypothesis has not yet been tested… read more here.

Abstract: Background : Although magnetic resonance imaging T2* is considered the gold standard to assess myocardial iron overload in β-thalassemia patients, its routine use is limited by the high cost and limited availability. Recent data demonstrated… read more here.
