Article Synopsis
- Childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) survivors have a heightened risk of cardiovascular issues, so identifying vascular health problems early is crucial for better long-term outcomes.
- A study compared 100 ALL survivors with 80 healthy controls, measuring factors like serum endocan levels and common carotid artery thickness to assess endothelial dysfunction.
- Results showed that ALL survivors had significantly higher levels of serum endocan and carotid intima-media thickness, indicating increased risk for cardiovascular complications and potential premature atherosclerosis.
