Overview

Increasing numbers of patients now survive long‑term following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation can induce damage of various organs and tissues – from minimal potentially progressive subclinical changes to life‑ threatening conditions. These potential complications and effects include endocrine, respiratory, skeletal, neurological and other complications, as well as cardiotoxicity and secondary malignancies. Cardiovascular effects belong to life‑ threatening. There is a possibility of decreasing these effects – by their prevention, earlier diagnosis and treatment. It is necessary for the patient to receive lifelong care including cardiology follow‑up after such intensive oncologic treatment.

Key words:
hematopoietic stem cell transplantation – cardiovascular effects
