ABSTRACT
In patients with beta-thalassemia major cardiac events due to iron overload are the main cause of death. Moreover, a chronic hypercoagulable state has been described in these patients, which sometimes complicates with thromboembolic events, mainly cerebral ischemic accidents and deep venous thrombosis. We describe a case of cardiac hemochromatosis complicated with fatal massive multiorgan embolism due to a large left ventricular thrombus in a patient with beta-thalassemia major.
