Abstract
No useful predictor of risk of acute heart failure in peripheral-blood stem -cell transplantation (PBSCT) regimens, including high-dose cyclophosphamid e, has previously been available. Corrected QT dispersion can predict acute heart failure after high-dose cyclophosphamide chemotherapy used in PBSCT.
