A Prospective Study on the Role of Strain Echocardiography in DetectingEarly Radiation-induced Cardiotoxicity in Left-sided Breast CancerPatients
Our study did not detect any significant difference in the mean Global Longitudinal Strain pre and post-radiotherapy. However, early radiation-induced cardiotoxicity diagnosis should be a priority throughout the treatment process, requiring further studies with a larger sample size and a longer follow-up to find valuable tools to minimize the side effects of therapeutic manipulations.
