HUMAN PHENOTYPE - ANNOTATIONS

The Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) is downloaded weekly from http://compbio.charite.de/hudson/job/hpo/lastStableBuild/artifact/ontology/release/hp.obo. The file downloaded is considered the "last stable build" available for the ontology. For more about the HPO, view their website at http://www.human-phenotype-ontology.org/.

Definition:Increased amount of iron in myocardial tissue.
Comment:This feature can be assessed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MRI as a reliable, valid, and robust method can provide indirect assessment of cardiac iron overload. Even, it has been advised to determination the degree of cardiac iron overload.8 The reciprocals of T2 and T2*, known as R2 and R2*, are directly proportional to iron. This feature can be seen as a consequence of transfusion treatment in thalassemia.
Synonyms:exact_synonym: Cardiac iron overload;   MRI: heart iron content increased
