Characteristics of patients with cardiac dysfunction

Patient Prior anthracycline exposure (mg/m2) Baseline LVEF, % Lowest LVEF, % Max CRS* grade Vasoactive support? Troponin elevation? Peak troponin
(ng/mL)
14 360 64 20 4 Yes Yes 6.23
16 110 70 45 4 No Yes 0.117
39 195 60 25 3 No Yes 0.113

Cardiac dysfunction is defined as a >10% absolute decrease in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) compared with baseline or new onset left ventricular systolic dysfunction >grade 2, LVEF <50%.

*CRS max grade as per Lee et al, Blood 2014.

†Troponin levels were drawn and undetectable, lower limit of detection 0.010 ng/mL.

CRS, cytokine release syndrome.
