Abstract

Anthracycline-related cardiomyopathy is of concern in children treated for acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Risk is dose-dependent, increasing with higher doses. We aim to highlight the risk of early-onset cardiotoxicity with low-cumulative anthracycline dose in a young Omani boy with AML. We conclude in the presence of other known risk factors for cardiac dysfunction, there is probably no risk-free anthracycline dose.
