Article Synopsis
- Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) can lead to various cardiovascular complications, and this study aimed to assess the occurrence and risk factors of these events in patients post-transplant.
- Researchers analyzed data from 3,354 adult patients who underwent HSCT from 2008 to 2019, tracking cardiovascular outcomes within 100 days and beyond, with a focus on incidents like heart failure and atrial fibrillation.
- Results showed a low short-term incidence of cardiovascular events (4.1%) but a higher long-term incidence (13.9%), particularly among allogeneic transplant recipients and individuals with pre-existing heart conditions.

Article Synopsis
- A study aimed to create a risk score for assessing cardiovascular risks in patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) due to limited existing guidelines.
- Using data from the CARE-BMT study, researchers analyzed various predictive factors related to cardiovascular events in over 2,400 HSCT patients, leading to the development of a point-based risk score.
- This score categorizes patients into low, intermediate, and high-risk groups for cardiovascular issues post-transplant, potentially aiding in specialist referrals and long-term monitoring of high-risk individuals.
