Utility of Global Longitudinal Strain by Echocardiography to Detect Left Ventricular Dysfunction in Long-Term Adult Survivors of Childhood Lymphoma and Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
Measuring left ventricular (LV) global longitudinal strain (GLS) is recommended in screening of long-term cancer survivors for cardiotoxicity. However, there are limited data on GLS in this setting, in particular in survivors with apparently normal LV function without risk factors of impaired GLS. In the present study, we measured GLS in 191 adult survivors of childhood lymphoma or acute lymphoblastic leukemia, with normal LV ejection fraction and fractional shortening (FS) and without known hypertension, diabetes mellitus, myocardial infarction, or stroke.

Medium and long-term risks of specific cardiovascular diseases in survivors of 20 adult cancers: a population-based cohort study using multiple linked UK electronic health records databases
In this study, we used large-scale electronic health records data from multiple linked UK databases to address these evidence gaps.MethodsFor this population-based cohort study, we used linked primary care, hospital, and cancer registry data from the UK Clinical Practice Research Datalink to identify cohorts of survivors of the 20 most common cancers who were 18 years or older and alive 12 months after diagnosis and controls without history of cancer, matched for age, sex, and general practice. We compared risks for a range of cardiovascular disease outcomes using crude and adjusted Cox models. We fitted interactions to in...

E-152 Neurointervention in the pediatric population: 18-years experience from a single center
ConclusionsAt out institution, multidisciplinary interaction allowed the treatment of a wide variety of cerebrovascular diseases in the pediatric population. Pediatric patients carry high complication risks due to frequent presence of systemic conditions, but joined experience from pediatric neurology, neurosurgery and neurointervention departments allow their treatment with optimal planning and results.Abstract E-152 Table 1Intracranial aneurysms Variable Value Age at diagnosis, mean (SD) or median (IQR) 16 (16–19) Male:Female 12:10 Associated conditions•Moya moya•Connective tissue disorder•Von Wille...
