Algorithm for treatment of iron overload in adult athletes based on the current evidence [107,108,109,112]. Treatment choice recommended based on serum iron profile, underlying cause, and clinical judgment. Serum ferritin and transferrin saturation should be monitored regularly during and after treatment. Recommend cardiac T2* measurement by MRI every 6–24 months depending on the clinical risk for cardiac iron deposition [112].
