HUMORAL MARKERS, CONVENTIONAL DOPPLER ECHOCARDIOGRAM AND BIDIMENSIONAL STRAIN IN THE DETECTION OF MYOCARDIAL TOXIC EFFECT SECONDARY TO CHEMOTHERAPY

Aim: Analyze the usefulness of humoral markers (quantitative troponin T (TT), BNP, NT pro-BNP), conventional and the two-dimensional longitudinal strain (LS), and radial strain (RS) in the prediction of ventricular systolic dysfunction in patients treated with cardiotoxic chemotherapy. Thirty six
