There is scarce evidence regarding the use of iron chelators in patients with hereditary hemochromatosis who are intolerant of phlebotomy or erythrocytapheresis. A 52-year-old man with genetically confirmed HFE hemochromatosis presented with liver disease and heart failure with severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction. Because of anemia after initial treatment, we added intravenous deferoxamine followed by oral deferiprone to less frequent erythrocytapheresis, which normalized systolic function within 1 year. Repeated cardiac magnetic resonance imaging revealed improvement of the T2* relaxation time. This report illustrates the beneficial effect of iron chelators in individuals with HFE hemochromatosis and poor tolerance of erythrocytapheresis.
