The aim of this study was to establish weather intensive iron introduction by feeding can lead to cardiac iron overload in addition to the well-established hepatic iron overload in rats. Iron assessment in both myocardium and liver was performed non-invasively by MRI, according to previously published methods. Our results show that intensive iron introduction by feeding does not implicate significant heart iron accumulation.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to establish weather intensive iron introduction by feeding can lead to cardiac iron overload in addition to the well-established hepatic iron overload in rats. Iron assessment in both myocardium and liver was performed non-invasively by MRI, according to previously published methods. Our results show that intensive iron introduction by feeding does not implicate significant heart iron accumulation.
