Evaluation of the impact of treatment with hematopoietic stem cells transplantation (HSCT) on biochemical markers of heart function and novel electrocardiographic markers of repolarization in patients with hematological malignancies

In conclusion, in the early term evaluation after HSCT in patients with no previously diagnosed heart disease, the mild changes in markers of heart overload and repolarization were noted. The observations suggest that in all patients undergoing HSCT, even the ones without pre-existing cardiovascular disease, the evaluation, and monitoring of heart function should be considered.
