in the mean period of 6 years after chemotherapy, subclinical cardiotoxicity was found in 11 patients (7%) and cardiomyopathy with heart failure in one patient. Further indicators of subclinical damage are elevation of afterload (end-systolic stress), impaired relaxation and increased value of the Doppler index of global left ventricular function. Further monitoring and evaluation of the relevant subclinical abnormalities over a longer period of time are needed.
