Abstract:BackgroundRecently, peak atrial longitudinal strain (PALS) has emerged as a possible predictor of Cancer therapy‐related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD) in cancer patients (CP), in addition to left ventricular global longitudinal strain (GLS). Thus, considering the link between left atrium and left ventricle, the aim of this study was to assess the global atrio‐ventricular strain (GAVS) in CP, to detect early cardiotoxicity.MethodsA prospective study was carried out enrolling 131 breast cancer women (mean age 51.4… Show more
