Left ventricular regional wall motion abnormality is a strong predictor of cardiotoxicity in breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy

Abstract

Chemotherapeutic agents of anthracyclines class and humanized monoclonal antibodies are effective treatments for breast cancer, however, they present a potential risk of cardiotoxicity. Several predictors have been recognized as predictors in the development of cardiac toxicity, and the evaluation of left ventricular segmental wall motion abnormalities (LVSWMA) has not been studied.
