Article Synopsis
- Anthracycline cardiomyopathy is a significant issue for children treated for acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) in the UK, with studies revealing 13.7% early and 17.4% late cardiotoxicity rates.
- Early cardiotoxicity strongly predicts later issues, with treatments like salvage therapy potentially increasing the risk, necessitating ongoing medical management for those affected.
- Long-term monitoring is essential to understand the full impact of subclinical cardiotoxicity on these pediatric patients post-treatment.
