[A fatal disease of the heart in primary and secondary hemochromatosis].
In a 53 year-old man suffering from idiopathic hemochromatosis a massive myocardial siderosis occurred with disperse necroses and fibroses especially in subepicardial zone of the left ventricle. A similar picture was observed at secondary hemochromatosis in a 33 year-old woman with sideroblastic anemia after repeated blood transfusions. Both patients died of the failure of hypertrophic heart.
