Cardiovascular screening prior to stem cell transplantation in the United Kingdom

[摘要] Haematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) recipients experience anincreased risk of cardiovascular disease compared to the general population[1, 2]. Although transplant-related mortality has decreased overthe last decades, this has not been through a reduction in death dueto cardiovascular disease [3, 4]. Improving cardiovascular outcomespost-transplant is a focus of the International Cardio-Oncology Society [5], and the European Society of Cardiology has recently producedguidelines for risk assessment and surveillance.
