Purpose To establish the ranges for normal left ventricular (LV) and right ventricular (RV) volumes and ejection fraction (EF) and LV mass normalized to body surface area (BSA), age, and gender in a large cohort of well-treated beta-thalassemia major (beta-TM) patients without heart damage using a multiparametric MRI.

Background Cardiac MRI plays a critical role in the management of thalassemic patients. No accurate biventricular reference values are available.
