Myocardial fibrosis and strain impairment in treatment-naïve cancer patients: insights into cancer-related myocardial remodeling from a prospective case–control CMR study
Treatment-naive cancer patients exhibit subclinical myocardial alterations, characterized by elevated native T1 and reduced global longitudinal strain. Cardiac magnetic resonance emerges as a valuable tool for identifying early biomarkers of myocardial dysfunction, offering opportunities for risk stratification and proactive management in cardio-oncology.
