ABSTRACT
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) emerges as a major cause of death in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), but predictors of fatal CVD and the effect of MDS-specific treatments on CVD mortality remain largely unknown. In an analysis involving 831 patients with MDS with known causes of death, we noted an independent association of lower risk MDS, age >70 years, pre-existing CVD, and treatment with erythropoiesis-stimulating agents with a higher risk of death from CVD. If externally validated, these simple risk factors could increase clinicians' awareness toward CVD complications and guide early introduction of intensive monitoring and preventive interventions in MDS patients.
