Cardiovascular complications among hematopoietic cell transplantation survivors - the role of cardiomarkers.

Background: Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) offers potentially curative therapy for numerous malignant and nonmalignant diseases. The number of survivors and length of follow-up after successful HSCT is continually increasing. HSCT can induce damage of various organs and tissues - from minimal potentially progressive subclinical changes to life-threatening conditions.
