Comparative Analysis of Speckle-Tracking Echocardiography and Cardio-Specific Markers for Early Detection of Cardiotoxicity in Patients with Breast Cancer
STE shows promise for early cardiotoxicity detection in BC patients undergoing chemotherapy due to its sensitivity and ability to assess myocardial mechanics. Integrating STE into cardiac monitoring can improve early detection and management. Increases in NT-proBNP correlate with GLS LV changes after CTx, serving as a useful biomarker where STE isn't feasible. Further research is needed to validate findings and standardize protocols.
