GLS, GRS, and GCS were significantly decreased in patients with myocardial T2* <20 ms (iron overload), while no significant change was observed in the right and left ventricular ejection fraction (RV- and LVEF). Cardiac MRI feature-tracking may be helpful in the early detection of cardiac complications resulting from iron overload in β-thalassemia patients who had early recovery from COVID-19.
