Echocardiograms of patient #4. (A) Echocardiogram long axis views of the left ventricle demonstrating a thickened interventricular septum (left), which improved 3 month later (right). (B) Schematic representation of left ventricular posterior wall (open squares) and interventricular septum thickness (open triangles), in centimeters, and corticosteroids treatment (filled shapes) in doses equivalent to methylprednisolone, before and after hematopoietic stem cells transplantation.
