LVIDs: left ventricular internal dimension at end-systole, LVIDd: left ventricular internal dimension at end-diastole, EF: ejection fraction, FS: fractional shortening, SD: standard deviation, GLS: global longitudinal strain, LS: longitudinal strain, Avg: Average, LVEDV: left ventricular end-diastolic volume, LVESV: left ventricular end-systolic volume, 3D EF: three-dimensional ejection fraction, SV: three-dimensional stroke volume. Data are expressed as mean ± SD*Control group versus patient group before HSCT.†Patients before HSCT versus patients after HSCT. P*: independent sample t-test. P†: paired sample t-test.*significant p ≤ 0.05.
