Abstract: | BackgroundHeart failure (HF) occurring after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is rare but severe. We examine the role of pre-HSCT therapeutic exposures, conditioning regimens, pre-HSCT comorbidities, severe transplant-related complications, and post-HSCT cardiovascular risk factors in the development of heart failure after allo-HSCT.MethodsA nested case-control study was designed. Cases with HF and controls matched for age, year of allo-HSCT, and length of follow-up were identified from a cohort of 2455 patients who underwent allo-HSCT between 2000 and 2011 for hematologic malignancies.ResultsForty-two patients suffered from HF; mean age at presentation was 35 years (± 14 years) and mean time to presentation was 5 months (± 9 months) post-HSCT. The number of pre-HSCT cycles of chemotherapy was significantly greater (7 vs. 5 courses, P = 0.023). Cases were significantly more likely to have severe acute GVHD (≥ grade III), hemorrhagic cystitis (≥ grade 2), and multiple severe transplant-related complications compared with controls (42.9% vs. 20.4%, P = 0.008). Multivariate analysis revealed that pre-HSCT cycles of chemotherapy of ≥ 5 courses (OR = 3.5, P = 0.003) and two or more severe transplant-related complications (OR = 3.6, P = 0.003) were independently associated with HF.ConclusionsThese results identify the individuals who are at higher risk of developing HF after allo-HSCT. We should pay more attention to these patients and more active management would be reasonable. |
