The aim of the UMIMI study (Ultra-fast MRI for Iron Management in India) study is to assess whether CMR using commercially ultrafast sequences can provide reliable information about heart and liver iron content, whether this information changes the clinical management and whether this approach has an impact on the patients’ cardiac status at one-year of follow-up.
