Global and regional patterns of longitudinal strain in screening for chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity
Introduction: Serial echocardiographic assessment of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is the gold standard in screening for chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity (CIC). Measurement of myocardial deformation using speckle tracking enables more detailed assessment of myocardial contractility. T...
