Assessments are done at baseline, 1-mo follow-up, and 3- to 6-month follow-up. CV screening should be considered for periods beyond 6 mo in all patients, but particularly for high-risk patients. +, as clinically indicated; CML, chronic myeloid leukemia; CV, cardiovascular; X, recommended; TKI, tyrosine kinase inhibitor.
Patients treated with dasatinib should be considered for an echocardiogram if cardiopulmonary symptoms are present.
