Prognostic Value of Left Ventricular Global Longitudinal Strain on Speckle Echocardiography for Predicting Chemotherapy-Induced Cardiotoxicity in Breast Cancer Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Abstract:Background: Literature suggests that left ventricular global
longitudinal strain (LV-GLS) on speckle echocardiography has the
potential to predict cardiotoxicity amongst breast cancer patients
receiving chemotherapy such as anthracycline, taxane, cyclophosphamide,
and trastuzumab. Our study aimed to collect evidence for the prognostic
value of LV-GLS for predicting chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity in
breast cancer patients. Methods: A detailed search of the
PubMed, Google Scholar, Cochrane Library, and Scop… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
