Cardiovascular Events After Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant: Incidence and Risk Factors.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is associated with various cardiovascular (CV) complications.

Objectives

We sought to characterize the incidence and risk factors for short-term and long-term CV events in a contemporary cohort of adult HSCT recipients.

Methods

We conducted a multicenter observational study of adult patients who underwent autologous or allogeneic HSCT between 2008 and 2019. Data on demographics, clinical characteristics, conditioning regimen, and CV outcomes were collected through chart review. CV outcomes were a composite of CV death, myocardial infarction, heart failure, atrial fibrillation/flutter, stroke, and sustained ventricular tachycardia and were classified as short-term (≤100 days post-HSCT) or long-term (>100 days po
