Cardiac complications associated with hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation

Abstract

Advances in chemotherapy and supportive therapy have resulted in improved clinical outcomes in patients with hematological malignancies undergoing hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT). However, the association between HSCT and early- and late-onset cardiotoxicity remains controversial as these cardiac complications, including acute heart failure and arrhythmia, such as atrial fibrillation, can occasionally be lethal. Although the overall pathophysiology has not been elucidated, initial/salvage chemotherapy before HSCT, such as anthracycline-combined regimens, conditioning regimens, thoracic radiotherapy, and pre-existing personal risk factors, could be associated with an increased risk of cardiac events. Routine monitoring of cardiac function using global longitudinal strain or left ventricular ejection fraction in echocardiogram and serum biomarkers could be an option to detect early changes in cardiac status before irreversible cardiac complications develop. While beta-blockers and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors are commonly used for cardioprotection, their clinical benefit has not been fully established in HSCT-associated cardiotoxicity. In the future, genetic analysis to reveal individual vulnerability to cardiotoxicity and prospective trials assessing the clinical benefit of early interventions, including novel agents such as angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitor, are warranted. Collaboration between oncologists and cardiologists is crucial to establishing a strategy to prevent cardiac complications.
