First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 14, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how well the heart, lungs, and muscles work together in people who have had a stem cell transplant. Researchers want to find out why transplant survivors have a higher risk of heart disease. About 350 adults with blood cancers will be followed for two years after their transplant to track changes in their heart and lung function.
