The purpose of the present study is to investigate the effect of ACE inhibitors and the sacubitril-valsartan complex in bone marrow transplant patients by assessing cardiovascular and endothelial parameters in order to search for a potent protective role.
The purpose of the present study is to investigate the effect of ACE inhibitors and the sacubitril-valsartan complex in bone marrow transplant patients in preventing cardiotoxicity when administered immediately after transplantation. The effect of medication will be studied in detail: i) in global longitudinal strain of left ventricle (GLS), ii) in the volume change of the right and the left ventricle, through the cardiac cycle using 3D echocardiography, iii) in the Myocardial Work Index (MWI) of the left ventricle, with a strain -pressure curve study iv) in the 4D strain of the left atrium, v) in elastic properties of aorta (pulse wave velocity (PWV), central systolic pressure (CSBP-mmHg) and augmentation index (Aix%), vii) in permeability of glycocalyx and viii) in serum biomarker values, namely troponin I high sensitivity and atrial natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP).

RECRUITINGEffect of treatment in Left Ventricular Function
Left Ventricular Function is assessed by calculating Ejection fraction by 3D echocardiography.
Time frame: 2 years
Effect of treatment in left ventricular function
Left Ventricular function is assessed by Global Longitudinal Strain by speckle tracking echocardiography
Time frame: 2 years
Effect of treatment in arterial stiffness
Arterial Stiffness is evaluated by Pulse Wave Velocity
Time frame: 2 years
Effect of treatment in glycocalyx thickness
Glycocalyx thickness is assessed by measuring perfused boundary region (PBR) of the sublingual arterial microvessels (range 5-25 µm
Time frame: 2 years
