Abstract

This study indicates that BMT may adversely affect RV systolic and diastolic functions as well as pulmonery artery stiffness (PAS). Advanced echocardiographic assessment in patients at risk of cardiotoxicity during the pre- and posttransplant period may facilitate early detection and implementation of preventive and therapeutic strategies.
