Early Detection of Anthracycline-Induced Cardiotoxicity in Female Breast Cancer Patients Using Speckle Tracking Echocardiography in an African Tertiary Institution.
This study showed reduced left ventricular ejection fraction, reduced left ventricular global longitudinal strain, and increased left atrial volume over a period of three months in breast cancer patients treated with anthracycline-based chemotherapy. It also confirms the usefulness of speckle tracking echocardiography in evaluating breast cancer patients pre-, intra-, and post-chemotherapy.
