Abstract
Serial cardiovascular magnetic resonance evaluation of children and young adults with SCD who underwent hematopoietic cell transplantation showed mean ECV, representing diffuse myocardial fibrosis, decreased 3.4% from baseline to 12 months posttransplantation. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT04362293.
