Iron sufficient to cause hepatic fibrosis and ascites does not cause cardiac arrhythmias in the gerbil

Chronic iron overload associated with hereditary hemochromatosis or repeated red cell transfusions is known to cause cardiac failure. Cardiac arrhythmias have been incidentally noted in patients with iron overload, but they are often dismissed as being related to comorbid conditions. Studies with an...
